Roma will host Genoa in the seventh round of the Italian championship on 17 October 2026, with the home side starting the match as favourites.
Roma are third in the Serie A table with 14 points, only two behind leaders Inter. The Rome club drew 2-2 with Inter before being held to a goalless draw by Como.
Their most recent match came in the Champions League, when Roma were beaten 4-3 by Real Madrid in midweek.
Roma’s recent record includes one defeat in their past five matches, while they have also established themselves among the leading teams in the early Serie A standings. They will now look to maintain that position against a Genoa side battling near the bottom of the table.
Genoa’s four points place them 17th in Serie A. Their advantage over the relegation zone is based only on additional tiebreaking criteria.
The visitors were beaten 2-1 by Parma before responding with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina. Before that, Genoa lost 2-0 to Rapid Bucharest in a friendly.
Genoa have won twice in their past five games. However, the most recent meeting between the two clubs ended in victory for Genoa, who won 2-1.
Prediction
Roma are expected to control much of the match at home, but the prediction is for both teams to score. The game is also expected to produce a high number of goals.
Roma remain the stronger side on the league table and are the favourites, although Genoa’s recent head-to-head success gives the visitors grounds for confidence.
