Roma form and stats
Roma have collected 12 points from their Serie A home games so far after 4-0-0. After failing to beat Fiorentina here at Stadio Olimpico, Roma has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
