AS Roma currently sits fourth in Serie A with 30 points, just a step away from the Champions League spots, and will be eager to gain points to consolidate their position. Roma's recent form has been inconsistent; they lost 1-2 to Juventus in their last match, ending a two-match winning streak, with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses in their last 6 matches across all competitions. Genoa, a team battling to avoid relegation, is currently 17th in the standings with 14 points after 16 rounds, only two points above the relegation zone, placing them under immense pressure to avoid demotion. Their recent form has been poor, losing 0-1 at home to Atalanta in their last match, suffering two consecutive losses, and only securing a record of 2 wins and 4 losses in their last 6 matches. Even worse, their away form is lacking, with three consecutive away losses and failing to score in those matches. In Roma's attack, Dovbyk, who has just recovered from a thigh injury and is the team's top scorer in 2025, has scored 15 goals, while Zale has contributed 6 league goals this season, providing reliable scoring options. However, the team has some minor absences; midfield core Lorenzo Pellegrini is out with a hamstring strain, and starting left-back Spinazzola is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, which will affect midfield organisation and the balance of their wing play. Genoa is facing a severe injury crisis, with as many as 7 key players unavailable. The goalkeeping position has been severely hit; first-choice Leali is suspended, and second-choice Sgricist is injured, forcing them to use third-choice goalkeeper Daniel Sommariva, who has no first-team experience. Additionally, defender De Winter is suspended due to a red card. The match prediction is: Genoa Win , Away
