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

- 2019-20: 11 away wins (under coach Fonseca)

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.
As the Champions League draws near, AS Roma is proving that victories away from home are crucial for their success. With the current momentum, they are well-positioned to continue this impressive trend.
