They are currently on an eight-match undefeated streak of form on home soil, the same length as their current scoring streak at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma haven’t picked up clean sheet in any of their last ten home fixtures though, picking up just one all season on home turf. They have been potent in front of goal though.
