Genoa form and stats

0-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Genoa so far this season. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Genoa.

Ballardini made a successful contribution in the game against Empoli, bringing on Flavio Bianchi who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw. Midfield player Milan Badelj got a match rating of 7.62 in that game, the max score being 10. Badelj hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

In the match before that, Genoa hosted Venezia and drew the game 0-0.

Genoa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Genoa defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Roma form and stats

There's been little loot from Roma's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Serie A. Roma only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 0 draws.

There might be some fixture complaints from Roma as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Venezia (2-3). The attacker Eldor Shomurodov got a match rating of 8.45 in that game. Shomurodov scored one goal, served one assist and hit four key passes.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Bodø / Glimt.

A quick return to home after this game, as Roma are hosting Zorya in the Europa Conference League only four days away.

The Roma manager J. dos Santos Mourinho has got the team scoring on the road, with 12 away goals in 6 league matches. Roma have conceded 11 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
