Serie A: Genoa vs. Roma – Match Preview, Squad News & Probable Line-ups
AS Roma travels to Genoa's Stadio Ferraris to face Genoa in an anticipated Serie A fixture. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 CET (17:00 GMT).
Roma, under the guidance of coach Daniele De Rossi, is expected to feature Donyell Malen leading their attack. Speculation surrounds their midfield and defense. Sky Sport Italia suggests Daniele Ghilardi will anchor a three-man defense, while Niccolò Pisilli and Lorenzo Pellegrini are tipped for attacking midfield roles. However, Gazzetta dello Sport proposes an alternative: Pisilli might play in central midfield to allow Bryan Cristante to rest, potentially opening a spot for 19-year-old Lorenzo Venturino in attacking midfield. Venturino made a January move to Roma from Genoa.
On the home side, Genoa will be without Jean Onana, Tommaso Baldanzi, and Sebastian Otoa. Roma faces more significant absences, with Mario Hermoso, Paulo Dybala, Matias Soulé, Evan Ferguson, and Artem Dovbyk all unavailable for the trip. English defender Brook Norton-Cuffy is back from injury for Genoa but is likely to start on the bench.
