Team News

Roma
  • Andreazzoli's experiments worked pretty well in Bergamo last week, but now he has Totti and De Rossi back available.
  • That could mean that Marquinho might sit out even after scoring the first goal against Atalanta, unless he plays wide on the left side.
  • In that case, Balzaretti would be the one going to the bench.
Genoa
  • Matuzalem and Granqvist will both be suspended, so Toszer and Bovo will be on the pitch from the off.
  • Captain Rossi may still be unavailable after leaving the pitch early against Palermo: Pisano or Cassani to replace him on the right wing.
  • The latter could start on the bench as he just recovered from an injury.

Prediction

  • With two consecutive victories Roma came back in the race for an European spot, and together with Fiorentina they will have a winnable match at home while the other top teams are facing each other.
  • Genoa got two victories and three draws in their last five matches, but they have to keep getting points to prevent Siena or Pescara catching up. Especially the Tuscans could be closing down this week, so a point in Rome would be more than welcome.
  • Andreazzoli is starting to get results from his work, and the team is getting confident as well. Here against Genoa they will have to manage their enthusiasm and avoid rushing to score. Genoa will sit tight and try to cover spaces, especially along the flanks, so the Giallorossi have to be patient to get the right chance.
