Genoa

LWWDWL

Genoa will be hoping for a better result following the 0-2 Serie A loss in their previous game against Hellas Verona.

In that match, Genoa had 58% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. For their opponents, Hellas Verona had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Jackson Tchatchoua (55') and Casper Tengstedt (64') scored for Hellas Verona.

Fewer than three goals per match were scored during 5 of the past 6 meetings where Genoa have been participants. With regard to the goal attribution in that period, their opponents scored an aggregate of 5 and Genoa got themselves 6. Having said that, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern might be replicated here in this game.

Going into this one, Genoa haven’t won at home in the past 2 matches in the league.

Roma

LWLDLD

In the game prior to this, Roma drew 0-0 in the Serie A tie with Juventus.

In that match, Roma had 49% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Juventus got 3 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.

The strike force from Roma have failed to get amongst the goals over their previous 6 clashes, contributing the poor return of just 4. In those fixtures, i Giallorossi have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 6.

Leading up to this clash, Roma:

• are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
• are without an away win for the past 5 league matches.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their most recent head to head meetings stretching back to 07/03/2021 tells us that Genoa have won 1 of these games and Roma 4, with the tally of drawn matches being 1.

A combined total of 10 goals were yielded between them in these games, with 4 for Il Grifone and 6 netted by i Giallorossi. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 1.67.

The last league encounter between these sides was Serie A match day 37 on 19/05/2024 and the score finished Roma 1-0 Genoa.

On that occasion, Roma had 58% possession and 15 shots at goal with 3 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Romelu Lukaku (79').

On the other side, Genoa got 8 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target.

The match was refereed by Gianluca Manganiello.

🗞️ Team News: Genoa

Fabio Miretti (unknown injury), Brooke Norton-Cuffy (Foot injury), Alan Matturro (Shoulder injury), David Ankeye (infection), Junior Messias (muscular problems) and Alessandro Zanoli (muscular problems) won’t be playing for Genoa manager Alberto Gilardino.

In all likelihood, Il Grifone may well opt for a 4-4-2 formation in the match, handing starts to Pierluigi Gollini, Alessandro Vogliacco, Koni De Winter, Johan Vasquez, Milan Badelj, Stefano Sabelli, Morten Frendrup, Morten Thorsby, Aaron Caricol, Caleb Ekuban and Andrea Pinamonti.

📰 Team News: Roma

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there is only the one fitness problem for the Roma boss Daniele De Rossi to contend with. Enzo Le Fée (muscular problems) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that i Giallorossi seem likely to play in a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Mile Svilar, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, Angelino, Alexis Saelemaekers, Kouadio Kone, Bryan Cristante, Niccolo Pisilli, Stephan El Shaarawy, Paulo Dybala and Artem Dovbyk.

✨ Prediction

Genoa could find themselves struggling to hit the back of the net against this Roma lineup who we think will likely score one, at least.

That’s why we have predicted a hard-fought 0-1 advantage for Roma at the end of the 90 minutes.

Let’s see what happens.
