Roma-Genoa is a match valid for the twenty-first day of Serie A and is played on Friday at 20:45: odds, prediction, live TV and streaming.
A penalty converted by Dovbyk last Sunday allowed Roma to avoid defeat at the “Dall’Ara” against Bologna and to score their fifth straight useful result between the league and Coppa Italia. Claudio Ranieri’s team, however, had a rough time of it: overturned in a matter of minutes by Dallinga and Ferguson, they reeled in Vincenzo Italiano’s side in the midst of a recovery (2-2) by taking advantage of a Lucumì hand foul.
Lights and shadows in the Emilia capital. And still not a performance up to that of the derby seven days earlier (won 2-0 with Lazio), proving that the Giallorossi are struggling to break free on the road (they are only second-to-last in terms of external performance, zero wins away from home like Venezia).
Still too little, in short, to think they can quickly climb the standings and get close again to the Europa zone after a first half of the season that was clearly below expectations. Roma remains tenth, -8 from sixth place and -12 from fourth, occupied precisely by their biancocelesti cousins. Pellegrini and his teammates will try to get back to winning in what is somewhat their “comfort zone,” the Stadio Olimpico (6 wins and 4 losses in front of their own public). In the advance of the 21st day, the Capitolini will have to deal with Genoa, completely revitalized by the Vieira cure: with the French coach, the Rossoblù have found the continuity that had been lacking with Gilardino and in the last eight days they have lost only to Napoli, moving up to 11th place in the standings (coincidentally just one point behind Roma). On Sunday the Grifone won another important direct confrontation, beating Parma 1-0 thanks to a goal by Frendrup (second clean sheet in a row).
Roma-Genoa: the latest lineup news
There should be no changes in the Giallorossi’s eleven, with Ranieri now giving the impression that he has found the typical formation. Mancini, Hummels and N’Dicka in defense, Angelino and Saelemaekers on the outside lanes and Paredes and Pellegrini in the middle. In front, Pellegrini – the only ballot could be about the captain himself, who is being undermined by Pisilli and El Shaarawy – and Dybala behind the only point Dovbyk. Cristante is unavailable.
A heavy absence in Genoa’s midfield: Vieira will have to do without experienced director Badelj, who will certainly miss Roma due to injury. Replacing him will be Kasa, who will be positioned in front of the defense. Vitinha and Ekuban are also not available.

The Prediction
In the Vieira management Genoa has become more solid, conceding more than one goal only twice in 8 matches. Numbers that match well with those of the last precedents with Roma: six “Under 2.5” in seven matches since March 2021, with the exception of the 4-1 success at Marassi in 2023. Giallorossi favored but the Grifone should give Ranieri’s team a lot of trouble in a match that is more hard-fought than expected.
