Roma form and stats
6 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Roma have to build on here at Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A.
The Roma fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Stadio Olimpico: A 3-4 defeat against Juventus (placed 5th). A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Juventus) as a comfortable lead 3-1 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4. A goal frenzy last time out for Roma, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Juventus. Fun stuff to watch! Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Pellegrini for missing a penalty kick versus Juventus in the 83rd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Midfielder Pellegrini was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.6 (out of ten) in that game. Pellegrini scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Milan (1-3).Roma are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found eleven matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won ten, drew one and lost zero.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Roma as they have a new game in only four days, a Coppa Italia match thankfully also at home. Lecce are visiting.
Roma has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. 12 goals have been conceded.

Cagliari are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie A against Bologna (placed 13th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Mazzarri when Pereiro scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute. The end of the last match, against Bologna, was very satisfying as Pereiro scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Attacker Pavoletti got a player rating of 7.52 in the game. "Man of the match" Pavoletti scored one goal and hit two key passes.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Sampdoria.You'll want to know how Cagliari managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found seven similar matches resulting in one away win, three draws and three home wins.
