Roma 2026/27 Serie A Preview
Roma are top of Serie A and have conceded three goals in five games. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side opened with 4-0 wins over Fiorentina and at Lecce, beat Atalanta and Torino, and drew 2-2 with Internazionale in a meeting of the two best starts in the division.
Donyell Malen has six goals already, half the side’s total, and Paulo Dybala has taken 21 corners from the right of the two behind him. Mile Svilar has three clean sheets in five behind a back three of Gianluca Mancini, Leonardo Balerdi and Mario Hermoso.
Third and 73 points last season, with the best defensive record in the division, established the platform. Gasperini has added goals to it without loosening anything at the back, and on this evidence Roma will be in the title race deep into the spring.

Roma’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Donyell Malen
- Free-Kicks: Paulo Dybala
- Corners: Paulo Dybala, Matías Soulé
Paulo Dybala has taken 21 of Roma’s corners to Matías Soulé’s 4. Paulo Dybala has had one of the direct free-kicks. Roma are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Donyell Malen, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
