After thumping Internazionale 4-0 last weekend, Roma will feel that walking away from Siena with a win on Saturday isn’t a completely unrealistic achievement.
La Magicca can jump above Inter and into sixth place with a victory this weekend, however that’s counting on the matter of the Milan side dropping points against 20th placed Novara; something which doesn’t seem likely to happen.
Siena have incentive of their own to walk away as victors on Sunday as they face the prospect of extending the gap between them and the relegation zone.
Giuseppe Sannino’s side sit in 17th, just three points away from a place in the drop zone but could move up to the considerably safer position of 15th should the home side get a win over Roma this weekend.

La Bianconeri actually have a good defensive record when playing at home and despite their lowly league position, the side concede on average just 0.80 goals per game when they are playing at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Roma have a decent defensive record also, letting in just 1.36 goals per away fixture on average this campaign.
It’s their attacking form which could prove an issue however and with just 1.18 goals scored on average when playing outside of the capital, there is room for nerves ahead of the game.
The 11 place gap between the two sides suggests that Roma would run out firm winners in this encounter, however statistics point to the fact that it could be a lot tighter than that.
