MATCH PREVIEW: 

- This is the second competitive encounter between Roma and Qarabag after the Italian side’s 2-1 win back in September.
- No Azeri club has ever beaten an Italian side in European competition (D2 L5).
- Roma have yet to concede a goal at home in this season’s Champions League.
- A win for Roma would guarantee passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the sixth time in their last seven participations. A draw or defeat would also be enough provided Atlético fail to beat Chelsea.
- Meanwhile, Qarabag are certain of finishing bottom of the group and will be out of European competition, whatever happens on matchday six.

- Qarabag are one of two teams yet to score in the second-half of a Champions League game this season, alongside Monaco.
- Qarabag have picked up a red card in each of their last three Champions League games. Only Bordeaux in 2000 and - Juventus in 2001 have suffered such a fate in the competition.
- Meanwhile, no team has picked up fewer cards than Roma this season in the Champions League (4 in 5 games, 3 yellows and 1 red).
- Stephan El Shaarawy has scored two goals and delivered one assist in his two Champions League starts this season.
