Roma vs Genoa Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Roma’s fickle hopes of securing Champions League football for next season depend on managing a win as they come against Genoa. This 37th match of the Serie A season will be played at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, with the hosts sixth with 60 points and the visitors 11th with 46 points. Roma are three points behind Atalanta, who now occupy the fifth and last spot in the Champions League qualification from Serie A. A 2-1 defeat to Atalanta last time out has extinguished their little hopes, although they would want to keep winning to stay in the hunt. The hosts are without a win in three successive league games, drawing twice and losing once. As they look to finish the home campaign on a high, the fans will hope they can continue their recent form, having won five of the last eight league games here.

Genoa won the reverse fixture 4-1 and are looking to end their campaign on a high, although the incentives are meager. They are unlikely to push for a top-half finish, but two wins out of their last three league matches suggests they are up for the fight. A 2-1 win over Sassuolo made it two wins and a draw in three games, plus just a single defeat across eight Serie A matches. That gives them enough confidence to overturn the 4-1 defeat in the reverse fixture, although they haven’t won a game against Roma at this venue since 1990. Genoa could take comfort in their recent away form, having lost just one of their last ten away league games. Drawing six matches in this sequence suggests it won’t be a surprise if this game ends in a stalemate.
