In their last match, they won 2-0 against Lazio away. This team is affected by the home factor, being stronger when playing in front of their fans, as in the last 30 matches they have recorded 7 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses away, scoring 15 goals and conceding 17, compared to 12 wins and 3 draws at home, with 29 goals scored and 9 conceded.
