Roma are consistently one of the best defensive sides in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Jose Mourinho’s backline has been able to provide the team with a sense of security in light of the team’s offensive struggles throughout the first part of this year’s campaign.
As pointed out by the news portal ForzaRoma.info, Roma’s defense have conceded 10 goals less compared to this time of the year last season: so far, the Giallorossi have conceded 18 goals, whereas last season that number was at 28 in the beginning of February.
Moreover, Mourinho’s men have been able to rely on their quality set-pieces: 43% of all set-pieces this season have resulted in a goal, leading Serie A in this statistic.
