Roma Preview
Roma is not having a perfect season, but at the end of the day the positive results are coming somehow, and it remains among the top 10 teams in Serie A. So far this year the team has a 1-0 win against Bologna and a 2-2 draw against Milan. And, now, it comes into this matchup on a four-game unbeaten streak, with its last loss coming in October 2022 against Torino by a score of 2-1.
Although they are different competitions, the Roman team wants to keep moving forward in search of a title that will give it confidence and return it to the top tier of Italian soccer. Roma will be playing this match at home, which is a plus, considering that in its last match in this condition it achieved a win and an unbeaten record.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Rui Patricio; Gianluca Mancini, Christopher Smalling, Roger Ibanez; Nicola Zalewski, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Bryan Cristante, Zeki Celik; Nicolo Zaniolo, Paulo Dybala; Tammy Abraham.
Genoa Preview
Genoa, who had to leave Serie A after 15 years in May, will have the opportunity to face an Italian Premier League opponent again, in this Coppa Italia clash against Roma. After suffering a lot prior to relegation, they now seem to be comfortable playing in Serie B, where they are the team with the third most wins, with a record of nine wins, six draws and four defeats.
The team has three wins in its last five games and is on a four-game unbeaten streak. Taking advantage of this good moment, they will try to overcome La Loba to reach the quarterfinals; however, it will not be an easy task considering that they will be playing in rival territory.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Josep Martinez; Silvan Hefti, Mattia Bani, Radu Dragusin, Stefano Sabelli; Morten Frendrup, Kevin Strootman, Filip Jagiello; Mattia Aramu, George Puscas, Albert Gudmundsson.
JefeBet Prediction
There are many reasons not to consider Genoa the favorite in this match, but the main one is that in 21 away games against Roma they have only one win, which dates back to 1990. In that period, La Loba has 16 victories to her name.
Prediction: AS Roma win by a score of 3-0.
