Roma - Genoa

Roma enter this matchday 7 clash following a challenging sequence, having recently shared points with Como and Inter before a narrow defeat to Real Madrid. Their domestic campaign began with impressive momentum, including a four-goal victory over Fiorentina, but they now face a period of adjustment with key personnel absences like Bryan Cristante and Manu Kone. Meanwhile, Genoa arrive in the capital with renewed confidence after a hard-fought win against Fiorentina. Their season has been defined by inconsistency, alternating between cup success and league struggles, but the visitors will look to build on their recent positive result as they navigate a difficult start to the campaign.

History favors Roma at this venue, though Genoa secured a 2-1 victory in their last meeting on 8 March 2026. With Roma missing Donyell Malen through suspension and Genoa managing the injuries of Djibril Sow and Lorenzo Colombo, both sides will rely on their expected XIs to dictate the tempo. As the hosts look to stabilize their form at Stadio Olimpico, Rome, the encounter serves as a critical test of depth and tactical discipline for both clubs.
