Roma’s Dazzling Away Victory Unveils Incredible Champions League Stats
AS Roma’s performance in the UEFA Champions League showcases a remarkable trend that emphasizes the importance of away victories. Historically, the team struggled on the road, impacting their ability to secure a top-four finish. However, this season has marked a resurgence in their away form.
Roma’s Impressive Away Record
As of now, AS Roma has achieved seven away victories in Serie A and three wins in the UEFA Europa League out of four attempts. This demonstrates a transformation in their away game strategy.
Potential Milestone for Coach Gasperini
Tonight’s match against Udinese could see Coach Gian Piero Gasperini secure an eighth away victory, which would set a new record for the season. The current tally of victories outside of home has already matched last season’s total.
- Last season (2022-23): 7 away wins
- Current season (2023-24): 7 away wins so far
- Notable previous seasons:
- 2021-22 (Conference League winners): 8 away wins

Historically, seasons where Roma qualified for the Champions League were bolstered by a strong away performance. For instance, they won nine away matches in 2014-15, followed by ten in 2015-16.
A Turning Point
The away game has transitioned from a weakness into a pillar of strength for Roma. This shift is essential for their aspirations to reclaim a spot in the Champions League. Under Gasperini’s guidance, the team has returned to its prior successful away game habits.
