Prediction: 2-1
Genoa
AS Roma will host the home game against Genoa on Sunday afternoon in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. After a difficult period AS Roma was able to set a good result against Napoli in Naples. The club from the capital of Italy is currently 5th on the table having 1 point less than Juventus in order to finish top 4 and 7 points less than leader Inter Milan. Getting back in the title race will be a hard but should stay the goal for AS Roma this season. Genoa on the other hand managed to be a very stable team in the Italian Serie A; this season the team is performing disappointing being placed 17th on the table. Il Grifone lost 3 games in a row and won't have a lot of confidence for the game against AS Roma. In the past 8 confrontations between both teams in the Stadio Olimpico AS Roma managed to win all of them. We predict AS Roma to keep the 3 points at home; manager Rudi García will have to make some changes in his squad in order to continue the title race after the winter break. Not finishing top 4 would be a disaster for AS Roma.
