Last season's comeback

Unbeaten at home against Hellas

Roma are unbeaten in 25 home games against Verona in Serie A (19 wins, 6 draws).

Of the teams currently competing in Italy's top division, only against Atalanta have the Giallorossi managed a longer run of consecutive home games without defeat (30, between December 1950 and September 1993).

Santarini and Pruzzo the recordholders

Our iconic former captain played 20 games against the Gialloblu, while the prolific Pruzzo found the net six times against them.

Liedholm in the dugout and Di Bartolomei's final game

Nils Liedholm is by far the Roma coach with the most matches against Hellas Verona. He led the team in 16 contests, winning nine, drawing six and losing just one.

Those matches include a two-legged clash in the 1983/84 Coppa Italia final. Roma won after drawing 1-1 in the first leg and winning 1-0 in the return, which was Agostino Di Bartolomei's last game in yellow and red.

Abraham seeking 50th goal
