Roma to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(54.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nRoma have won 11 of the last 17 meetings with Genoa and boast 12 clean sheets in 27 league games. With only 19 goals conceded so far, their defence is a cut above Genoa, who have shipped 39. Recent form and historical dominance point to value here.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/13 @ Bet365<\/a>
(61.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nRoma\u2019s matches average just over 2 goals per game, and they’ve kept things tight on their travels. Genoa\u2019s attack is spread thin, and with Roma\u2019s disciplined backline, a cagey affair looks likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
