What the Roma v Genoa head-to-head shows
The most recent meeting between AS Roma and Genoa finished 2-0 to Roma at home on 16 May 2026, in Serie A Women, with Genoa shut out across the 90 minutes.
One result is not a pattern. It does chime with Genoa's wider problem, though: they have scored two or more in only one of their last six.
How AS Roma and Genoa are playing
AS Roma have won 2, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their last six for 9 points, while Genoa have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 3 for 7 points going into this Serie A fixture on 17 October 2026.
Roma's six have been busy at both ends - 10 scored, 8 conceded, two clean sheets, and both sides scoring in 4 of them. They were beaten 3-4 at home by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League 3 days before this match, which was their first defeat in the run, and they had drawn 0-0 away at Como 6 days before this match. Home form is the odd part of it: won 1 of 3.
Genoa arrive off a 2-1 home win over Fiorentina 7 days before this match, and Daniele De Rossi's side do look like a team that functions at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris and not much beyond it. Two wins in the last six, both at home, where they have taken 2 of 4. On the road they have won 0 of 2, losing 1-2 at Parma and 0-2 at FC Rapid București in a friendly. Six goals scored and ten conceded across the six is a hard set of numbers to take to Rome.
Team news for Roma vs Genoa
Gian Piero Gasperini is missing goalkeeper Mile Svilar, who is not expected back before late November, and Donyell Malen, suspended after a straight red card against Como, with Manu Koné, Paulo Dybala and Bryan Cristante all carrying problems after the midweek Champions League tie (Football Italia); Genoa are without Djibril Sow, Lorenzo Venturino and Lorenzo Colombo, and list Alex Amorim, Ethan Meichtry and Elias Havel among their doubts (The Stats Zone).
AS Roma vs Genoa prediction
We're calling an AS Roma win over Genoa in Serie A on Saturday 17 October 2026, by 2-0. Genoa have not won away in their last six and have managed two or more goals only once in that spell, which is thin material against a Roma side with two clean sheets in the same period.
The counter is Roma's own home record of one win in three, and the four they shipped on Wednesday. But that was Real Madrid. This is a different evening.
Our prediction: AS Roma 2-0 Genoa
