GENOA v ROMA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Genoa are four places and two points below Roma in the current league standings. However, on more long term form including last season Roma are a much stronger side and finished ten places above their opponents last year. Roma’s seven matches to date have produced 25 goals with three scored more than conceded. Matches involving Genoa this season have seen 16 goals at an average of slightly more than two goals per game. All of Roma’s away matches have had a tally of three goals at least and more goals than their matches at home.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Roma won their last league game, against Atalanta at home, but they had less possession than the visitors. That would suggest a high level of efficiency in terms of creating chances from their share of the ball. Roma’s scoring record this season points to a team that creates plenty of chances. The goals have been shared and seven individuals have scored at least one goal for the side in as many matches. For Genoa Marco Borriello is a key player. He scored in their last match, a 1-1 draw at home with Palermo, in which they had a relatively low share of the ball for a home team that avoided defeat.

GENOA - ROMA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

This is one of the matches on the weekend schedule that can see a win for the away side. The relative league positions of the two sides and form in recent seasons suggest Roma have a definite edge in ability and can confirm that impression by taking maximum points from the visit to Genoa. Roma have already beaten Inter Milan away from home this season and in the context of this match that is outstanding form. Inter have been inconsistent this season to date but are always difficult to beat at home. Genoa are yet to win a home fixture this season and this match does not provide the best opportunity to improve on that record.

Stan James go 2.15 for Roma to win.

GENOA - ROMA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

This is a game that on current form Roma should not lose and the statistics suggest they can take maximum points from the trip to Genoa. Roma score plenty of goals but concede at a rate of more than one per game so they may not be able to establish a winning margin of more than one goal. However, they should be able to give up a start of almost a goal as the most likely correct score is a 2-1 to Roma.
