Roma vs Genoa preview
Roma has a 60% probability of winning against Genoa, who sit at 17%. The most likely scoreline is 2-1, occurring at a 9% likelihood. Roma's expected goals stand at 2.25, while Genoa's are significantly lower at 1.31. This suggests a clear disparity in attacking potential, but it does not guarantee the outcome.
Recent form shows Roma with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches, while Genoa has 2 wins and 3 losses. Head-to-head results favour Roma with 6 wins from the last 10 encounters. However, the confidence grade is A, yet the recent form of both teams raises questions about consistency.
Why this pick: Roma vs Genoa
Model inputs: per-match averages over each side's last 10 played matches (Roma 10, Genoa 10). PPDA — lower means more intense pressing.
xG and npxG (non-penalty) per match, deep completions (passes received within ~20 yards of goal) and xPTS (expected points) from Understat match data. Bold marks the stronger side on each line.
