A huge match in the race for a Champions League finish in Serie A will take place this weekend, as AS Roma look to take their challenge to the final day. However, the Rome-based club will only maintain their challenge if they are able to claim maximum points against Genoa.
Serie A Preview
The race for the European spots in Serie A will go into the final two weekends of the campaign. However, only a victory for Roma this Sunday will keep their hopes of a Champions League finish alive. The Italian side comes into this round of matches sitting sixth in the standings, and they are three points behind Atalanta, and just one ahead of their cross-city rivals Lazio.
Their recent form has dropped off across recent weeks, meaning that they will be under pressure across the final weeks of the season. Roma have failed to win in their last three matches, and they have picked up just a single win from their last five. A second defeat over that period was inflicted in their previous outing against Atalanta.
Bet hereGenoa are playing under no pressure at this stage of the season, as they are jostling for position in the middle of the standings. They come into this round in eleventh, but a victory in Rome could see them move within a point of the top half of the standings.
The Italian side have gone three without defeat in Serie A, winning on two occasions across that period. Their fine recent form continued at home last Sunday, as they battled to a 2-1 success against Sassuolo. They were clinical in front of goal after netting with both shots that they attempted on target.
Roma vs Genoa Head to Head
Genoa are unbeaten in their last two league matches against Roma, claiming victory in the reverse showdown this term by a 4-1 scoreline. However, that early success this term remains their only victory in 17 previous league matches against Roma. Roma have landed wins in four of the previous six clashes between the sides.
Roma vs Genoa Prediction
Roma boasts an excellent recent record in this fixture, and they have avoided defeat in all home matches against their rivals across the last 15 years. For that reason, it could be worthwhile to side with the hosts to continue their fight for a Champions League place by claiming victory on Sunday.
