Outstanding results! On the other hand, in the Europa League, Roma has performed like this (both home and away): 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The Roma fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stadio Olimpico and will expect new points from this game. Roma has played 16 games in a row here without a defeat.

Roma shared the glory with Benevento in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Sporting Braga.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Milan in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Olimpico.

Sporting Braga form and stats
Sporting Braga was sent out of Europa League in the 16th finals last season.As the visiting team in Primeira Liga matches, Sporting Braga have produced an overall stat of 6-0-4 so far. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 4W-1D-2L. This is both home and away. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Braga, as they have won on their previous two travels.
The supporters enjoyed Sporting Braga's previous game versus Tondela, a Primeira Liga 4-2 win played at home. A 0-2 loss hosting Roma before that.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Tondela was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The schedule is very tough for Braga now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primeira Liga game at Nacional is waiting in only three days.
Braga has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 19 goals from 10 games. As opposed to that, Braga have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
