    Stat Attack: The facts to know before AC Milan visit


    Ahead of Sunday's Serie A game at the Stadio Olimpico, we take a look at some of key facts and figures from recent meetings involving Roma and AC Milan...

    The capital record

    To date these two sides have met 83 times in Rome: AC Milan have won 28 of those, the Giallorossi 25 - meaning the other 30 ended in draws.

    The last draw... was in 2016

    Games between these two sides have not ended in a draw for three years (January 2016): the six games since have all seen one side emerge victorious. Roma won four of those, but the Rossoneri have won the last two...

    Second half fireworks

    Nine of the last 10 goals scored in games between these two sides have come in the second half - the only exception being Frank Kessie's penalty during the contest between these two sides earlier in the season.

    Roma's last four in Serie A

    For the first time this season, Roma are four-games unbeaten in Serie A - three wins, one draw - and have scored 11 goals in that period.

    Roma on form at home

    Home games involving the Giallorossi this season have produced 43 goals in total - an average of 4.3 a game. That is a record in Serie A so far, along with Sassuolo.

    Set-piece differences

    Sunday's match pits the side with the fewest set-piece goals so far this season (Milan, 2) against one of the sides that has scored the most (Roma, 14 - level with Juventus).

    Young guns

    Roma have had five different goalscorers born in 1996 or later already this season - only RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund among Europe's top five leagues have had more (six).

    Hello to my ex

    Stephan El Shaarawy could go up against his former club on Sunday. El Shaarawy made 83 appearances for the club between 2011 and 2015 (scoring 21 goals). Bryan Cristante, suspended for the game, will miss a similar opportunity: he made his senior debut for Milan and made three Serie A appearances for the club back in the 2013/14 campaign.

    Di Francesco vs Milan

    Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco is yet to oversee a draw with AC Milan in 12 meetings with the club as a manager. Five victories and seven defeats in 12 games tell the story - with the last win coming away from home last season (2-0).

    All-time goalscorers against Milan

    Here's how the list of Roma's all-time goalscorers against Milan looks:

    11 goals: Totti
    5 goals: Volk, Pantò
    4 goals: Costantino, Krieziu, Amadei, Pruzzo, Cerezo, Delvecchio, Vucinic.
