Prediction: 2-1
Genoa
Following a 2-2 draw with Bologna, Roma will look to return to winning ways in Serie A when they welcome Genoa to their Stadio Olimpico on Friday evening. The Giallorossi have been showing signs of improvement up front of late and, as a result, the odds for home win are dropping. Bryan Cristante and Ola Solbakken remain in the recovery room, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, did well to beat Parma 1-0 in front of home fans and they are now on a quest to extend their unbeaten run on the road to six games. Given their negative record at Stadio Olimpico, though, home win should be considered. In their last meeting in Rome, Roma defeated Genoa 1-0, with Gianluca Mancini scoring the only goal of the match. Both Ruslan Malinovsky and Caleb Ekuban miss out with injuries, while Milan Badelj is rated doubtful for the visiting team.
