Genoa vs AS Roma

ROME (Interstat) — AS Roma looks to continue its strong recent form when it visits a struggling Genoa side in Serie A on Sunday.

The match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is a reverse of December’s meeting, which Roma won 3-1 at home. That result is part of a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions for Daniele De Rossi’s squad, who enter this contest with momentum.

Roma (12-8-4) is coming off a 2-0 victory over Frosinone U20 on Wednesday and a dramatic 3-3 draw with powerhouse Juventus last Sunday. The club has not lost since a 1-0 defeat to Udinese on Feb. 2, a span that includes convincing league wins over Cagliari and Cremonese.

In contrast, Genoa (8-7-9) seeks to regain footing after a 2-0 loss to Inter Milan on Feb. 28 snapped a brief resurgence. Prior to that, Genoa had earned a commanding 3-0 win over Torino. However, defensive consistency has been an issue; the team has conceded multiple goals in three of its last five league matches, including the earlier defeat to Roma.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 1-1 draw for Sunday’s contest.

Roma’s attack has been potent, averaging over two goals per game during its unbeaten streak. Genoa’s defense, which has kept only one clean sheet in its last seven Serie A outings, will face a significant test.

The fixture comes amid a congested schedule for Roma, which faces a crucial UEFA Europa League round of 16 second leg at Bologna on March 12, followed by a Serie A trip to Como on March 15. Genoa’s schedule is less crowded, with its next match at Verona on March 15.

Sunday’s match is scheduled for a 3:45 p.m. local (1445 GMT) kickoff.
