Giallorossi can outclass Grifone
Genoa will not be an easy game for Roma this Saturday at Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy, where the odds-makers have made the hosts a short 1.32 favorite. The visitors are 8.9 and the draw 5.0, which is a large gap to cover in a Serie A 2026/2027 game featuring a side that have made a fast start to the season.
Roma sit 2nd in the table with 13 points from 5 games and they're clearly the team with the momentum of the two teams going into this fixture. They have won 2 and drawn 1 of their 3 home games so far, and have a strong recent record against Genoa, although the visitors haven't won any of their last 3 away games against the Giallorossi.
Genoa are 16th in Serie A 2026/2027 with 4 points from 6 games, so they will be desperate to keep pace in this game, but they are also a more compact and pragmatic unit under Daniele De Rossi.
Different styles on show
Tactical setup
The clash of styles in this Serie A 2026/2027 encounter is interesting as Gian Piero Gasperini has made his Roma side play with a high tempo, 3-4-3 style, where the pressing and the transitions upfield are key.
Genoa will have to sit deep and nick chances when they get the chance on the break, which should suit them. Roma will look to pin them back and use their wing-backs to create enough pressure to break through.
Form and key players
The hosts have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 so it is a settled and solid team, with Donyell Malen leading the attack. Genoa will be a tougher test than the sides Roma have already beaten this season, but they have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 and have some spirit. Their two most recent games have seen them lose a 2-0 friendly to Rapid Bucuresti and beat Fiorentina 2-1 in Serie A 2026/2027, so they are unpredictable.
- Milutin Osmajic has scored 2 Serie A 2026/2027 goals for Genoa, with Lorenzo Colombo adding 2 assists and Johan Vasquez 2 goals.
Roma should win and both teams to score – no
I'm going to go with Roma to win and both teams not to score in the market that looks best suited to this game. Roma can control the game, but Genoa are compact and should make it tight enough for Under 2.5 goals to have a chance.
