Our predictions for AS Roma vs Genoa
Match Prediction: AS Roma 2-1 Genoa
AS Roma's recent form suggests a team struggling for consistency, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches. The predicted 3-4-2-1 formation, featuring the attacking trio of Soulé, Pellegrini, and Dybala, could provide the necessary firepower to challenge Genoa's defence. However, Bove's absence due to heart problems might affect their midfield stability.
Genoa, on the other hand, have shown resilience with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their recent outings. Their 3-5-2 setup, with Norton-Cuffy and Frendrup in midfield, should offer a solid foundation to counter AS Roma's attacks. The attacking duo of Vitinha and Colombo could exploit any defensive lapses from AS Roma, making for a closely contested match.

- Predicted lineup: Svilar (GK), Mancini (DF), Ziółkowski (DF), Rensch (DF), Çelik (MF), Cristante (MF), Koné (MF), Wesley (MF), Soulé (AT), Pellegrini (AT), Dybala (AT)
AS Roma's predicted 3-4-2-1 formation will likely see Dybala and Soulé supporting the lone striker, aiming to exploit spaces behind Genoa's defence. The midfield quartet of Çelik, Cristante, Koné, and Wesley will be crucial in maintaining possession and transitioning play from defence to attack.
