Genoa vs Roma prediction: Hosts to avoid defeat?
Key Stats
- Roma failed to win any of their first three fixtures of the new Serie A campaign.
- Roma lost 4-1 on their last visit to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
- Only one team scored in five of the last six meetings between these clubs.
- Roma picked up three cards in each of their two encounters with Genoa last season.
Correct score prediction: Genoa 1-0 Roma
Roma have limped out of the bocks this season and failed to win each of their first three fixtures of the new Serie A campaign. The Giallorossi failed to score in each of their first two away matches and they could toil in the final third again here.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Genoa priced as underdogs
- HOME: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%
- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
- AWAY: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Genoa slipped to an unexpected defeat at home to Verona before the international break, though they held Inter to a 2-2 draw in their last test on home soil before that and the 9/4 underdogs should be tricky opponents for Roma.
Roma have made a disappointing start to the fresh campaign and are still searching for their first win. The Giallorossi were hammered 4-1 in their last visit to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, and offer little value at 5/4 to win on Sunday.

Player to watch – Koni De Winter
Koni De Winter was a reliable performer for Genoa last season and the 22-year-old should be just as consistent this term as a more experienced player. The Belgian could have a bit part to play against Roma on Sunday.
De Winter could be busy against Roma
De Winter performed well as a second-half substitute when Genoa beat Roma 4-1 in last season’s corresponding fixture, and he could excel again as a starter against the same opponent on Sunday.
