Stat Attack: Key figures to know ahead of Sampdoria trip

The game gets underway at 15:00 local time, as Roma look to get back to winning ways following the international break.

Ahead of the contest, here are a few details worth knowing...

Ten wins at the Ferraris

In 61 visits to the home of Sampdoria in Serie A, Roma have a record of ten wins, 22 draws and 29 defeats.

12 points from seven matches

Since the 2000-01 season, every time Roma have been on 12 points after seven games of the season, the Giallorossi have gone on to finish the campaign in the top three.

Sampdoria’s worst-ever start in Serie A

With six defeats from seven games, Sampdoria have had their worst-ever start to a Serie A season. If they lose again on Sunday, they will become just the third non-newly promoted team of the 21st century to lose seven of their first eight games, after Reggina (2000-01) and Parma (2014-15).

No home draws in 2019

Sampdoria are the only side in the last two editions of Serie A not to have recorded a home draw in 2019 (six wins, seven defeats).

99 matches with the Giallorossi

Aleksandar Kolarov’s next appearance will be his 100th for Roma.

Debut for Ranieri

Former Roma boss Claudio Ranieri will take charge of his first match as Sampdoria boss after replacing Eusebio Di Francesco during international break. Ranieri has had two spells as Giallorossi coach, between 2009 and 2011 and again in 2019. He has taken charge of Roma 73 times in Serie A and has a record of 41 wins, 18 draws and 14 defeats.

Six points from last two away games

Roma have won their last two away games in Serie A, having drawn all four of their previous matches on the road. The Giallorossi haven’t recorded three consecutive away wins in a single Serie A season since May 2018.

50%

Aleksandar Kolarov has scored two of the four goals Roma have scored away from home in the league this season: one from the penalty spot, the other a free-kick.

Totti tops the scoring charts

With 15 goals against the Blucerchiati, Francesco Totti is Roma’s all-time top scorer against Sampdoria. Pedro Manfredini (8) and Abel Balbo (7) complete the top three.

De Rossi’s last goal

Daniele De Rossi scored the last of his 63 goals for the Giallorossi in last season’s visit to Sampdoria. It was the only goal of the game and ensured Roma took the three points.
