AS Roma vs Genoa – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

AS Roma host Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening as the Giallorossi look to arrest their recent downturn in form.

AS Roma vs Genoa – Match preview and team news

AS Roma team news

The Giallorossi will be without Artem Dovbyk for the clash against Genoa, with the striker unable to feature after suffering from a thigh injury. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini hopes to have him available for the following week.

Lorenzo Pellegrini also misses out through a hamstring injury sustained in training, compounding Roma’s attacking concerns ahead of the fixture. Leon Bailey remains sidelined from injury, while Neil El Aynaoui and Evan Ndicka are absent on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Mario Hermoso is a significant doubt for Monday evening, suffering from a sports hernia issue. Gasperini confirmed the centre-back will be assessed ahead of the match to determine his availability.

Genoa team news

Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa side faces significant personnel challenges ahead of their trip to the capital. Goalkeeper Nicola Leali is suspended following his red card against Atalanta, forcing De Rossi to turn to third-choice stopper Daniele Sommariva, with second-choice Benjamin Siegrist also unavailable due to a broken finger.

The Grifone’s defensive injury list is extensive, including Morten Thorsby, Albert Gronbaek, Junior Messias, Hugo Cuenca, and Maxwel Cornet.

Jean Onana is away at the Africa Cup of Nations, further depleting De Rossi’s options. A positive note comes with the availability of Leo Ostigard, whose return from a minor calf injury strengthens Genoa’s setup.

Form

AS Roma

Roma lost three of their last four league fixtures and has placed pressure on Gasperini to deliver a response. Roma currently sits fifth in the table with 30 points from 16 matches.

They suffered a disappointing defeat against Juventus last time out (1-2) and will look to come back to winning ways and end the year 2025 inside the top four in the league table.

Genoa

Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa remains in a relegation battle, currently occupying 17th place in the Serie A standings with just 14 points from 16 matches.

The Grifone’s form this season has been inconsistent, with a 1-0 defeat against Atalanta last time highlighting their defensive fragilities.

Predicted lineups

AS Roma: Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Hermoso; Rensch, Kone, Cristante, Wesley; Soule, Baldanzi; Dybala.

Genoa: Sommariva; Marcandalli, Ostigard, Vazquez; Norton-Cuffy, Frendrup, Malinovskyi, Ellertsson, Martin; Vitinha, Colombo.
