Stat Attack: 10 facts to know ahead of meeting with Parma

The game at the Ennio Tardini gets underway at 18:00 local time.

Roma revel against Parma

In their 50 meetings in Serie A to date, Roma have won 31 times against Parma - drawing 10 and losing just nine. In fact, no side has beaten the Emilia club more times than the Giallorossi.

Positive record at the Tardini too

That impressive run of results extends to Parma's home ground too - there Roma have won 13 times, losing just eight of the 25 meetings. In that period the club have scored 40 goals, conceding 27.

One in 20

Parma's last victory against Roma - the only one in the last 20 meetings of these two sides - came at the Tardini back in the 2012-13 season, as they won 3-2.

One loss in 11 to date

Roma have only been beaten once so far in Serie A - only twice have the club reached this point in the domestic campaign with fewer losses against their name (none in 2003-04 and 2013-14).

Solid defence on the road

Having conceded just twice in five away games so far, Roma actually have the best away defence among any side in Europe's top five leagues.

Edin looking to redress the balance

He's faced them twice in Serie A - yet Parma remain the only side Edin Dzeko has faced in the competition that he has not yet managed to score against.

Perotti looking to pick up where he left off

Diego Perotti's last Serie A goal came against Parma last season, in the final home game of the campaign.

Gervinho threat

Roma will once again come up against Gervinho, who made 71 appearances for the side between 2013 and 2016 (scoring 17 goals). The Ivory Coast international actually scored last time the two sides met, temporarily making it 1-1 at the Olimpico on the final matchday of last season.

Totti's preferred opponent

With 20 goals scored against them, no side suffered worse at the hands of Francesco Totti than Parma. Behind him in the club scoring charts against Parma sit Antonio Cassano (six) and Amantino Mancini (five)

Cengiz on form in this fixture

Ignoring the own goal in the last meeting between these sides, Cengiz Under has been involved in the last three goals Roma have scored against Parm - with one goal and two assists to his credit.
