AS Roma vs Genoa CFC Preview
AS Roma
Roma are having an overall average season so far; their numbers show 6 wins, 6 draws, and 8 defeats in 20 outings. This run has them sitting 10th on the Serie A table with 24 points, 13 off the top-four.
Under Claudio Ranieri, AS Roma have shown some resurgence in form as they bid to climb into the top half of Serie A. They have 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 defeat in their previous five outings. In this run, they’ve collected 8 points and dropped 7 in the process.
Ranieri has implemented a practical but effective approach to play, adopting a balanced 4-3-3 formation. The form in front of the Stadio Olimpico crowd has been excellent, giving them 6 wins this season.
Our free football predictions indicate that AS Roma’s output has improved significantly in recent matches. They are primed to fight for the three points on offer when they host Genoa on Friday.
Genoa CFC
Genoa have been in average form this season. They sit 13th in Serie A with 4 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses. The balance between attack and defence for Patrick Vieira’s men has been an especially pesky challenge this term.
Statistics indicate that Genoa have scored 17 times in 20 matches but conceded 27. Their average attacking potency is below average in Serie A. The rate at which they coincide matches makes them one of the poorer defensive clubs in the division.
Vieira has sought to make his team more compact and solid in their approach. The focus has been on defensive solidity while looking to leverage transition opportunities.
Their recent 2-1 win over Empoli has injected some optimism into the squad. This triumph followed a four-match winless run of three draws against Lazio (1-1), Torino (0-0), and Sampdoria (1-1) and a loss against Fiorentina (1-2).
Football bet predictions on 22Bet show that Genoa will be a challenging proposition for AS Roma on Friday. They’ll be pragmatic in their approach, focusing on defensive solidity and counter-attacking.

- Pick: Roma To Win
- Odds: 1.54 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: AS Roma 1-0 Genoa CFC
Claudio Ranieri has stabilised the Roma squad and focused their energies on a realistic, aggressive, and explosive tactical set-up.
The back-three set-up of Ndicka, Hummels, and Mancini provides the platform to build from the back and repel assaults. The twin attack of Dovbyk and Dybala offers a different prospect against Serie A defences.
Vieira employs a 4-1-4-1 formation with a narrow midfield three and hard-working wide players on defence and offence. Our expert soccer predictions reveal the tactical approach adopted by both sides will lead to a tightly contested clash on Friday. Roma are favoured to earn a narrow win.
