Matías Soulé has scored two direct free kick goals in the last two Serie A seasons (v Cagliari and Parma); in the period, he is the youngest player (born in 2003) with at least as many goals by direct free kick in the Big-5 European leagues.
In the last 10 Serie A seasons (since 2015/16), only Juventus (24) have scored more direct free-kick goals than Roma (19) in the competition.
Matías Soulé’s goal is the first direct free-kick goal by a Roma player in Serie A since Paulo Dybala’s goal against Monza on March 2, 2024.
Parma have lost more games against Roma (34 in 55 matches) than against any other side in Serie A; 11 Emilian wins and 10 draws.
There has only been one draw between Parma and Roma in the last 15 matches in Serie A (three wins for the Ducali and 11 wins for the Giallorossi): 0-0 on 15th February 2015 at the Olimpico stadium.
Parma have won their last two home league games against Roma (both without conceding a goal via 2-0); only once have the Emilians achieved more home wins in a row against the Giallorossi (three at the Tardini stadium in the first three matches at this stadium between 1990 and 1993).
With three defeats in a row currently, Parma could lose four consecutive matches for the first time in the current league season; indeed, the Emilians could register at least four defeats in a row in Serie A for the first time since the period between April and May 2021 (nine in that case).
Roma kept a clean sheet in their most recent league match against Venezia and could register two clean sheets in a row for the first time in Serie A this season; the last time they haven’t conceded goal in two games in a row was back in the period between March and April 2024 (three in that case).
