Roma have collected four or fewer wins in their first 16 games played in a Serie A campaign for the first time since 1992/93.
This is the fourth time in history that Roma have lost at least 8 of their first 16 games played in a Serie A campaign, after 1973/74, 1950/51 and 1949/50.
16 points gained in the first 16 matchdays of the current league is a negative record for Roma in the three points for a win era in Serie A.
Como won their last match played against Roma (2-0 on 25 January 2003 in Serie A), after having lost all the previous five league encounters.
Roma have kept a clean sheet in eight of their 12 Serie A away games played against Como, 67%: their highest such percentage among teams faced at least five times away from home in Serie A.
Roma have won each of their last six Serie A matches against newly promoted opponents, their longest such streak against these opponents since January 2021, when they reached 26 victories in a row (a run in which Claudio Ranieri also contributed, with two victories in 2019 as Giallorossi manager).
Como are unbeaten in three of their last four league matches (D3), as many times as in their previous seven games (W2 D1); furthermore, after the 1-1 against Monza and the 2-2 against Venezia, Como could draw three games in a row in Serie A for the first time since October 2002 (a run of four).
Roma have not won any of their last 10 away games in the championship (D5 L5), losing the most recent three; they last went more away matches in a row without a single win in the top-flight back in the period between December 1999 and May 2000 (11).
