Roma vs Genoa Betting Tips

Everything is going wrong for Roma right now. They’ve now been knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Serie B side Spezia, they’ve drawn Real Madrid in the Champions League and they are win-less in four Serie A games. They’ve dropped to fifth in the table, now seven clear points behind Inter Milan. Last season’s runners up have just slipped up somewhat.

Sunday’s game against Genoa is Roma’s last chance to stop the rut before the short Serie A Christmas break. Somehow this talented attacking team needs to re-sort its rhythm, where they’ve managed to score just one goal in their last three Serie A games and just one in their last five matches overall.

Genoa are probably lower in the table than they and most people would expect them to me. This team has generally been pretty reliable in recent seasons, but they’ve struggled for ever-valuable wins this season. They’ve lost their last three games in Serie A and also suffered a frustrating upset defeat in midweek Coppa Italia action.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Roma rut

As bad as Genoa have been, the impetus is on Roma on Sunday and we just can’t ignore their scoring rut. Are they going to find a way to break down a desperate Genoa team? We’d have to say no…

2. Good odds

The Roma win isn’t even a tiny bit tempting at 1/2, but we’re getting a nice opportunity to more than double our money with a 2.075 Asian Handicap bet on Genoa.

3. Asian Handicap push insurance

The Double Chance comes with a slightly better return, but with the +1.0 Asian Handicap, we’re getting the extra insurance of a push if Roma edge out a one-goal win.
