AS Roma vs Genoa prediction, preview, team news and more

AS Roma host Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A on Saturday, looking for their third consecutive win in the league.

Following a patchy spell, Jose Mourinho's side have looked better lately, winning their last three games in all competitions and scoring eight goals.

Back-to-back victories in the league have also seen them climb to sixth in the table with 38 points from 23 games, but remain five off the Champions League spots.

Genoa, meanwhile, look set to go down in the second-tier, following what's been a disastrous season for them.

With just one win and 13 points from 23 matches, the Griffins are second from bottom in the standings and winless in their last 20 consecutive matches, currently the worst run in all of Europe's top five leagues.
