AS Roma VS Genoa

With 30 points from 16 matches (W10, L6), Roma are three points behind leaders Inter Milan, although having played one game more. Genoa’s 14 points from 16 games (W3, D5, L8) see them start this round two points above the relegation zone. Roma were beaten 2-1 away at Juventus in their last match, which was their third defeat across the last five competitive matches. That said, six wins in their last nine matches give them enough confidence. Even in the league, they will be confident of overturning a run of three defeats across the last four matches (W1) at home. That’s because Roma have won three of their last four home league fixtures (L1). Genoa were beaten 1-0 at home by Atalanta last time out, which was their third loss across the last four competitive games (W1). The only win came against Udinese in Serie A, and they could end up in the relegation zone with adverse results. Their form on the road has been indifferent, as Genoa lost four of their last seven competitive trips (W2, D1).
