    Stat Attack: Facts to know before Juventus visit


    Ahead of Sunday's big game at the Stadio Olimpico, here are 10 numbers worth knowing about meetings between Roma and Juventus...

    The Olimpico record

    Sunday's game will be the 87th meeting between these two sides in Italy's top flight. To date Roma have won 31 of those games, drawing 30 and losing 25. Roma have scored 120 goals across those 86 games, Juventus scoring 98.

    The last seven in the capital

    Roma have lost just one of their last seven home games against Juventus - drawing three and winning three. The last defeat was back in May 2014, with Osvaldo scoring the only goal on that occasion.

    On a scoring streak

    Roma have scored in each of their last nine league games - only Napoli have a longer active run (11). Juventus, meanwhile, have conceded in their last five games in a row; not since September 2015 have they conceded in six straight league games.

    Juventus's last six games

    Juventus have won just one of their last six games in all competitions (three defeats, two draws). The last time they went seven games without winning once was in February 2010.

    Set-piece dangers

    Juventus (23 goals) and Roma (22) are the two sides with the most goals from set-piece situations in Serie A this season.

    The De Rossi factor

    Roma have won 39% of the games they have played without captain Daniele De Rossi this season. When the midfielder does play, however, Roma's winning percentage jumps to 53%. De Rossi has also scored three goals against Juventus during his career - he has only scored more against Chievo (four).

    Roman goalscorers

    Francesco Totti is the only Roma player to have reached double figures for goals in this fixture. He scored 10 during his career against the Bianconeri, with Fulvio Bernardini, Dino Da Costa and Giuseppe Giannini all some distance behind on six.

    Ranieri vs Juventus

    Claudio Ranieri has faced Juventus 18 times in his coaching career - winning two of those games, and drawing another four. Both those wins came during his time at Roma, one in the league and one in the Coppa Italia.

    Ranieri vs Allegri

    Sunday's two tacticians have met five times as coaches - with Ranieri leading the head-to-head with three wins to his name (one win for Allegri). The last meeting between the two came back in 2012, however; Ranieri winning out on that occasion as his Inter side beat AC Milan 1-0 thanks to Diego Milito.

    Allegri vs Roma

    Allegri, meanwhile, has faced Roma 19 times as a coach; winning six of those games but losing five. Allegri has faced Roma while coach of Cagliari, Milan and Juventus.
