AS Roma (2-1-2, 8 points) finds itself currently on a downhill after two consecutive winless games in the 2015-2016 Serie A Season and will try to get back on track against newly-promoted club Carpi FC (0-3-2, 2 points) at the Stadio Olimpico on September 26, Saturday.
I Giallorossi, last season's runner-up team, lost its most recent game versus Sampdoria, 1-2, at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday after an own goal by Greek defender Kostas Manolas five minutes before full time, as per SkySports.
I Blucerchiati's Eder found the back of the net early in the second half to give Walter Zenga's squad a 1-0 lead, but Roma striker Mohamed Salah equalized it at the 69th minute before Manolas' miscue.
It was the Wolves' first loss of the season after settling for a draw with Sassuolo last Sunday.
Meanwhile, last season's Serie B champs Carpi remains winless after five games in the top-flight competitions.
I Biancorossi forced unpredictable squad Napoli to a goalless draw during their match on Wednesday at their home field of Stadio Alberto Braglia, via Soccerway.
Fabrizio Castori will try to snatch his first win in the primary league against a tough Roma XI, but manager Rudi García is keen on bouncing back from their previous loss to earn three more points and move up in the standings.
Prediction: Roma routs Carpi, 3-0. Salah and veteran Francesco Totti will once again combine to score the goals for the capital city team.
Roma starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): De Sanctis; Maicon, Manolas, Rudiger, Torosidis; Pjanic, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Salah, Totti, Iturbe
Carpi starting lineup (3-5-1-1 formation): Benussi; Zaccardo, Romagnoli, Bubnjic; Letizia, Lollo, Cofie, Fedele, Silva; Ryder; Borriello
