Genoa will face off against Roma at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in a Serie A match on Sunday, September 15.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Genoa are the underdogs
- HOME: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%
- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
- AWAY: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
Before the international break, Genoa suffered an unexpected home loss to Verona. However, they managed a 2-2 draw with Inter in their previous home match. As 9/4 underdogs, they could prove to be challenging opponents for Roma.
Roma have had a lackluster start to the new season and are still looking for their first victory. In their previous trip to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, the Giallorossi were thrashed 4-1. With odds of 5/4 for a win on Sunday, they offer little appeal. Check out more of our football predictions on our upcoming matches page.
