Genoa vs Roma Prediction 8 March 2026
📢 Can Genoa pose a challenge to Roma in their Serie A Matchday 28 clash at the Luigi Ferraris? With Daniele De Rossi's arrival, the Griffins have significantly improved and are now giving a tough fight to almost every opponent. They particularly thrive on their home turf, where they consistently pick up points. Therefore, the Romans shouldn't expect an easy outing in Genoa.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Genoa and Roma over recent years features 36 matches: the Griffins have secured 6 victories, 5 matches ended in a draw, while the Romans have triumphed 25 times. In the first round, Roma faced little resistance, winning 3-1, with all three goals scored in the first half.
Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Roma
Genoa Team Overview
🔴 With the arrival of Daniele De Rossi, Genoa have undergone a noticeable transformation. At the start of the season, the team struggled significantly, even finding themselves at the bottom of the table. However, since the Italian specialist took charge, the "Grifoni" have been climbing steadily. After 27 rounds, the club sits in 15th place with 27 points. Nevertheless, their recent form is far from ideal, with just one win and three losses in their last five matches.
🔵 It's important to consider the level of opposition during this stretch. For instance, in the previous round, Genoa faced Inter away, a team confidently marching towards the championship. In Milan, it was extremely challenging for the "Grifoni" to showcase their best football, ultimately losing 0-2. However, given the strength of their opponent, such a defeat is unlikely to have a significant impact on the team's morale.

Roma Team Overview
🔴 Much like Genoa, Roma are unlikely to be fully satisfied with their recent performances. In their last seven matches across all competitions, the Giallorossi have managed just two wins-against lower-tier opponents Cagliari (2-0) and Cremonese (3-0). Despite this, the Romans continue to hold onto fourth place in the Serie A standings with 51 points. However, their cushion is minimal, as they sit just three points ahead of fifth place.
🟡 In their last outing, Roma dropped points at home against Juventus. The Romans looked convincing throughout the match and even led 3-1, but they couldn't maintain their advantage, allowing their opponents to come back for a thrilling 3-3 draw. The equalizer, conceded in the 90+3 minute, hardly boosts the team's confidence ahead of their upcoming clash in Genoa.

Latest news
Genoa
📣 After the match against Inter, which ended 0-2, Genoa's head coach Daniele De Rossi stated, "Genoa put up a solid performance. Everyone gave their all, no one held back. The difference in class between the teams was evident; we tried not to accept it, but the truth is, we are still far from their level. Inter didn't tear us apart, although they deserved the victory in both the first and second matches."
🚫 The Griffins have minimal squad issues. Sebastiano Otoa's participation is in doubt as he recovers from a thigh injury. Tommaso Baldanzi is expected to return by mid-March with a similar injury.
Roma
📣 After the 3-3 draw with Juventus, Roma's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini remarked, "The glass is half full. It's only half empty because of the last-second goal that stings-watching two points slip away when they seemed secure. But that's football-goals count even in the dying moments. With those two extra points, it would have been a significant step forward, but the result is still decent. There's a lot of regret, yet the game was magnificent. We move on."
🚫 The "Wolves" are facing considerable squad issues across all lines. Wesley will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Paulo Dybala is sidelined with a knee injury, and his return date is yet to be determined. Mario Hermoso and Matias Soule are expected back by mid-March as they recover from muscle injuries. Evan Ferguson is set to return to action by the end of the month after a thigh injury. Artem Dovbyk will be out much longer; the Ukrainian is recovering from a muscle injury and is not expected back until early April.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
The "Wolves" have shown strong performances in second halves recently, with Roma scoring after the break in 11 of their last 12 matches. The only exception was their clash with Udinese (0-1), where their attack struggled significantly. Therefore, it's quite likely that this trend will continue in the upcoming match.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In head-to-head encounters with Genoa, the Romans consistently deliver at least five corners-Roma's individual total of over 4.5 corners has hit in 9 of the last 10 meetings between these teams. In the first-round game, the "Wolves" reached the corner flag six times, so there's little reason to expect a deviation from this pattern.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Roma are considered favorites in the upcoming clash, but it's not so straightforward. The Romans last secured an away win back in mid-January, casting doubt on an easy victory for the visitors. Moreover, Genoa play tenaciously at home with strong crowd support and rarely drop points without a fight-having lost just once at home in 2026 (2-3 against Napoli). Therefore, a bet on both teams to score (yes) seems optimal, especially since it frequently occurs in their head-to-heads: Genoa and Roma have exchanged goals in six of their last seven Serie A encounters in Genoa. We anticipate a 2-2 scoreline on the board.
