Current form — Genoa v. Roma
Tough-to-beat Genoa.
The mood around Genoa is pretty low right now, as a win has proven hard to come by in recent weeks. Having collected 3 points from their previous 3 matches, Genoa are on the lookout for a win again. Against Spezia it finished 1-1, before they split the points with Venezia in a 0-0 draw. In their latest match, they once again had to settle for a single point after drawing 2-2 against Empoli.
Genoa in serious trouble
Roma will enter the match hoping to finally end their disappointing run of form in the league. Only a single point prevents Roma from having nothing to show for their previous 3 games. They came up short in a 2-1 defeat against AC Milan before drawing 2-2 with Bodoe/Glimt by a score. They were back on loser street last time out, when Venezia ran out 3-2 winners.
Being both the bookmakers favorite at odds 1.70 and with stronger performances lately than Roma has put on show, Genoa seem the natural pick. Should you find the price a tad on the low side, perhaps consider adding it to an acca.
