Genoa Preview – Can Genoa pull out of bottom three?
Three defeats out of their last four matches overall in Serie A has meant that Sunday’s hosts, Genoa, have been unable to lift themselves out of the bottom three and the relegation zone in the Italian top flight, and they face another tough test this Sunday despite holding supposed home advantage at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
Recent losses to Sampdoria, Inter Milan and Hellas Verona have overshadowed Genoa’s one success during this period which was a 2-1 home win against 15th placed Sassuolo, but the hosts still remain in the bottom three ahead of Sunday’s action in the Italian top flight.
Genoa’s home record stands at an indifferent looking 3-1-5 10/12 and although they’ve posted victories over Fiorentina, Brescia and Sassuolo, all three of these opponents also occupy a place in the bottom half of Serie A, while defeats on home turf this term have outweighed the positives.
With just 4 wins out of their last 15 matches at home, Genoa look to have their work cut out here especially as Roma have won 8 of the last 11 meetings between these two sides.
Roma Preview – Can Roma find success on road?
Having suffered recent back-to-back defeats at home in Serie A, Roma may well be relieved to be hitting the road for this Sunday’s clash away at lowly Genoa following losses to Torino and Juventus at their Stadio Olimpico, while results on their travels have been more solid.
It’s just 2 defeats out of the last 7 matches overall though for Roma who occupy 5th place but are level on 35 points apiece with 4th placed Atalanta who occupy the last Champions League spot, and having lost just once on the road all season, Roma will fancy their chances of returning to winning ways in this encounter.
An away record of 5-3-1 15/6 includes recent wins at Udinese 4-0, Hellas Verona 3-1 and a 4-1 romp at Fiorentina, so the visitors have been producing goals as well as points on the road this term.
The bigger picture shows that Roma have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 13 matches on the road in Serie A, and this kind of form should see them get over the line here.
