AS Roma vs Genoa Prediction & Betting Tips (19 May)

Eager to return to the Champions League next year, Roma could ultimately be too fair. Indeed, the Louve club today occupies 6th place in Serie A with one more match and 3 points behind 5th. The arrival on the bench of Daniele De Rossi in January completely revived the Gialorossi who were in bad shape. Unfortunately, they weaken at the worst times, as evidenced by the only success gleaned during the last 5 days, for 2 draws and 2 defeats. Last weekend, Roma seriously jeopardized their chances of reaching the Top 5 by losing to Atalanta 2-1. In the Europa League, Romelu Lukaku's teammates reached the last four but fell to Bayer Leverkusen 2-4 after the two-legged matches.

To his advantage for his return to the elite, Genoa, 11th in Serie A, was not worried by relegation. Despite the lack of challenge at the end of the season, Alberto Gilardino's men remain difficult to maneuver. In fact, they have only conceded one setback in the last 8 days, for 3 victories and 4 draws. After easily dominating poorly ranked Cagliari 3-0 and taking a point at AC Milan 3-3, Genoa won against relegated Sassuolo last weekend 2-1.

The Roma coach remains without the excellent left piston Spinazzola and the essential striker Dybala (13 goals and 9 assists in SA), injured. In order to replace the Argentinian jewel in the attacking trio, the promising Baldanzi could once again be chosen to start alongside El Shaarawy (3 goals and 2 assists in SA) and Lukaku (12 goals and 3 assists in SA). Last weekend, midfielder and captain Pellegrini (8 goals and 3 assists in SA) distinguished himself by shaking the nets. For Genoa, we must mention the withdrawals of the starting defender Bani, the young Matturo, the midfielder potentially starting Malinovskyi (3 goals) and usually replacement attackers Junior Messias and Vitinha.

Particularly prominent this season, striker Gudmundsson (14 goals and 3 assists in SA) plays a leading role. He should still be associated with the Italian international Retegui (7 goals and 2 assists in SA).
