Genoa will proceed with the Serie A campaign under new manager Andriy Shevchenko this week when they host AS Roma at Stadio Luigi Ferraris. This will be an exciting fixture as we don’t know what to expect to expect from new manager on 21st November 2021 at 22:45 EAT.
The home team has been struggling this season which has led to the new management; they are currently place just outside the relegation zone in the 17th place with nine points after 12 matches played. The opponents, Roma on the other side sits in the sixth spot in the table with 19 points after the same number of games with Genoa.
Genoa shared spoils 2-2 with Empoli in their previous Serie A fixture. In that match, Genoa had 48% possession, 15 attempts with seven on target and goals scored by Domenico Criscito (13′) and Flavio Bianchi (89′). Empoli got 10 shots on goal with two on target and goals by Federico Di Francesco (62′) and Szymon Żurkowski (72′).
Roma tasted defeat last time out 3-2 Serie A to Vinezia and they wil be looking to bounce back in this game. In that match, Roma had 61% possession, 27 shots with 10 on targetand goals scored by Eldor Shomurodov (43′) and Tammy Abraham (45′). Venezia fired 13 attempts on goal with seven of them on target and goals scored by Mattia Caldara (3′), Mattia Aramu (65′) and David Okereke (74′).
Roma have outplayed Genoa this season and have won four of the pair’s last six meetings in Serie A. The hosts are without a win in their last six matches, drawing four times and losing twice and Roma haven’t fared much better but do enjoy playing against Genoa.
