Quotes
“It’s true that Genoa are a tough team to play against because you need to get your width from your full-backs, but we did create some chances," Roma manager Daniele De Rossi said after his side's win over Genoa.
"We had maybe 100 shots from the edge of the box without finding the target. It was a hard and tense contest against a side that rightly played the game as if their lives depended on it. I like the fact that we’re changing in Italy in this regard.
"It’s an important victory that shows once again that these lads have so much heart. We went down to ten men and managed to get the goal with the touch of a champion. That’s what was able to save the game for us because we couldn’t play differently with a man down.”
Head-to-Head
Roma hammered Empoli 7-0 in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 17 September 2023 at the Stadio Olimpico.
As a result, the Wolves are undefeated in their last 15 matches in the league against the Blues having registered three draws and 12 wins.
