MILAN - There are less than two days to go before the meeting of Inter and Roma at the Stadio Olimpico so here are all the stats and pieces of trivia from previous meetings, as powered by Opta.

Inter are the team who Roma have scored against the most (217) and conceded the most against (270) in the history in Serie A.
