Roma form and stats

The complete Serie A stats at home this season for Roma are 10-5-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Mkhitaryan was the last player to score a league goal for Roma and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Roma haven't scored in 185 minutes.

Roma faced defeat in their previous match, away at Fiorentina (0-2). The attacker Veretout was announced as "man of the match" for Roma with a rating of 7.34/10. Veretout dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 34 successful passes (of 40 total).

Roma are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 18 games. Roma have only conceded 15 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Venezia form and stats

Venezia have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-3-12 (18 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Venezia, having lost six matches in a row as the visiting team.

Venezia go into this game after a win, the home game against Bologna that ended 4-3. A stark raving crazy game with masses of goals last time out for Venezia, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fun game, will this fixture be as refreshing? Venezia goalie Mäenpää was high and low in the Bologna game, contributing seven saves towards the victory. Henry, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.65. Henry scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Prior to that match, the Venezia manager Soncin faced defeat when travelling to Salernitana and losing 1-2.

With the hosting team given a victory chance of roughly 80% by the bookmakers, any favourable result for the away team would be an eye-opener. Examining earlier games with similar odds and Venezia as the away team, we found four results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, zero draws and four defeats. The away team lost four of these fixtures by at least two goals.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Venezia rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 30 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The records show that this isn''t the first time these two sides meet this campaign, as the statistics show this recent match: Venezia - Roma 3-2.
