- Genoa are winless away from home in Serie A 2026/2027 (Lost 2) and have scored just 1 goal.

Roma should edge it at Stadio Olimpico
AS Roma are flying high in 2nd place in Serie A 2026/2027 with 13 points from 5 games as they enjoy a fast start to the new campaign under Gian Piero Gasperini, who has moulded them into a fast-paced, high-energy 3-4-3 team that is built on high-intensity pressing and attacking quickly in transition.
Giallorossi have taken 7 points from a possible 9 at home and have a potent attacking force in Donyell Malen, who has already registered 6 Serie A 2026/2027 goals. They will certainly have the pace and quality to pose problems for a Genoa defence that has been found wanting on the road this season.
Genoa have been underwhelming on their travels
Daniele De Rossi's Genoa have been more pragmatic and compact in comparison to their hosts, with a compact style of play built on structure, counters and set pieces. Milutin Osmajic leads Genoa with 2 Serie A 2026/2027 goals, although Lorenzo Colombo has provided 2 assists and Johan Vasquez has also chipped in with a brace.
The visitors are winless on their away matches in the 2026/2027 season, having lost their opening two games and scored just once, which puts them in 16th with just 4 points from their first 6 games. It was a mixed bag of results last time out with a 2-0 friendly defeat to Rapid Bucuresti followed up with a 2-1 Serie A win at home to Fiorentina.
Hosts should have the edge
Roma are 1.32 favourites for this match and there is some merit to that odds. Genoa are 8.9 and the draw is 5.0, so there is a clear view of this market and Roma to win and both teams to not score looks like a strong option.
Roma will surely pin Genoa back for long periods with their wing-backs and high pressure. But Genoa are more compact and more set up to be dangerous on the counter or at set pieces, so the visitors should have a chance to make things interesting.
Roma have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 games and Genoa have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5, so Roma should have the momentum to claim all the points at the Stadio Olimpico. However, Genoa are more organised and the Under 2.5 goals price is also appealing if Genoa do sit deep and play defensively.
Roma and Genoa have shared the spoils in their last 2 Serie A head-to-head meetings, but Genoa haven't won any of their last 3 away games against Roma, so the home side will be favoured in this clash.
