Data provided by

Roma take their unbeaten record and the meanest defence in Serie A into a home date with a Genoa side who have been dreadful on their travels, and the gap between these two could scarcely be wider right now.

Anthony Eadson’s Roma vs Genoa predictions, best bets and score prediction are all below, with the game getting under way at 7.45pm (UK time) on Saturday.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson is leaning on Roma’s defensive strength, with a corners angle to pair it with.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Roma to win to nil13/8 (Sky Bet)No team in Serie A has defended as well as Roma, who have conceded just three goals in six games and kept four clean sheets, and they have not let in a single goal on their travels. They blanked Como in a 0-0 draw last time out, so the back line remains in good order. Genoa arrive having scored only once in two away games, and with the hosts winning their last two home meetings 3-1, a Roma clean sheet and win at 13/8 is the standout.
Over 11.5 match corners3/1 (BoyleSports)This should be a game played almost entirely in Genoa’s half. Roma have dominated territory all season on their way to third, and a Genoa side set up to defend deep after conceding 11 times already are likely to concede a stream of corners. Genoa have lost both away games and will spend long spells camped on the edge of their own box. When a strong home side pins a struggling visitor back like that, the flag count tends to climb, and 3/1 on the total clearing 11.5 offers a tidy alternative to simply backing the favourites.

How Roma go into the game

Roma sit third on 14 points and are one of only three sides still unbeaten, winning four and drawing two of their six games. They have conceded just three goals all season and kept four clean sheets.

Their most recent outing was a 0-0 draw at Como, a second straight stalemate after three wins on the bounce. Their defensive record away from home is remarkable, with no goals conceded on their travels at all, and at home they have won two and drawn one.

How Genoa go into the game

Genoa are down in 17th on four points, with a single win from six and 11 goals conceded. That win did come last time out, 2-1 at home to Fiorentina, but it has been a grim campaign otherwise.

The bigger concern for this trip is their away form: they have lost both games on the road and managed only one goal away from home. Milutin Osmajic has carried most of their threat with three goals, but support has been thin on the ground.
