Stat Attack: 10 facts to know ahead of Genoa trip

The game gets underway at 18:00 local time.

The tale of the last nine

Roma have not lost against Genoa in their last eight meetings in Serie A - with eight wins and one draw in that span. The last defeat came back in May 2014, when Gian Piero Gasperini was the Genoa boss.

The overall record

Sunday's game will see Roma aim for their 50th victory over Genoa in Serie A - to date they have won 49 games, with Genoa taking 32 and 22 of them being drawn.

Roma to make it No. 9?

Roma have now scored in their last eight games in the league - only Napoli (10) currently have a longer goalscoring streak going...

Genoa struggling from set-pieces

No side has conceded more goals from dead-ball situations this season than Genoa - who have conceded from such positions 18 times already.

Giallorossi spreading the goals

Roma are the only side in Europe's big five leagues who have 10 players with at least three goals to their names already this season.

Return of the ex(es)

Stephan El Shaarawy made his Serie A debut for Genoa, back in December 2008, and went on to make three appearances for the Rossoblu before being snapped up by AC Milan. Since then he has gone on to score three goals against his old club (the last two of them coming at Marassi).

Diego Perotti also spent time with Genoa - 43 appearances (and five goals) for him during a two-season spell at the club.

Florenzi scoring against Genoa

Alessandro Florenzi has three goals against Genoa to his name - making them his preferred victims.

Mirante one away from a landmark

Antonio Mirante is one clean sheet away from reaching 100 in Serie A.

Ranieri vs Genoa

Claudio Ranieri has faced Genoa 17 times in his career as a coach - winning 11 of those and drawing three. The last meeting came in January 2012, when his Inter side beat the Grifone 2-1.

His first spell as Roma coach actually came to an end against Genoa - Ranieri was fired after his side let a three-goal advantage go to waste.

Ranieri vs Prandelli

Sunday's coaches have faced each other on just seven occasions during their long and illustrious coaching careers. Ranieri has the upper hand in the meeting - with four wins to Prandelli's one. Their most recent meeting was all the way back in 2010, however, as Ranieri's Roma beat Fiorentina 1-0 thanks to Mirko Vucinic.
