Prediction: 0-1
AS Roma
Genoa and Roma square off against each other at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in the closing match of the Serie A round 6. The Rossoblu failed to grab something from the Lecce game at the weekend, with the team dropping to 16th place in the standings and they are seen as underdogs in Thursday’s encounter. Defender Aaron Martin serves a one-game ban, while both Junior Messias and Alessandro Vogliacco are out of contention with injuries.
The Romans, on the other hand, were on the verge of beating Torino at Stadio Olimpico di Torino, but the hosts eventually scored a late equalizer to save one point. With the likes of Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku up front, Jose Mourinho’s men are surely capable of beating Genoa and we predict that the capital club will showcase their quality on the field. All Renato Sanches, Tammy Abraham, and Marash Kumbulla remain in the recovery room, while Chris Smalling is out of contention with heart problems.
