"We want to score as many goals as possible and concede as few as possible. So looking at the number of goals conceded, two in four games, it’s a good statistic," Jose Mourinho said after their defeat to Milan
 
"Four goals scored in four games, less so. Even if we scored against Juventus too [disallowed by the referee]. The key thing is to play, fight, try to win every game. To do that you need to have the right balance and you need to defend well. 
 
"It’s an easy thing to say but it’s true, to win you need to score and not concede. For that you need to be well-organised defensively. And we are improving in that respect, little by little."
 
The last meeting between Venezia and Roma in the league was on 7 April 1992.
 
The two teams played to a 2-2 draw in a match that was played at Venezia's home ground, Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.
