Genoa started the new Serie A season just as strongly, as they managed to surprise defending champions Inter with a 2-2 draw on the first matchday but the 0-2 defeat against Verona before the international break, in which Genoa only had one shot on goal revealed some weaknesses. However, the 1-0 win against Monza on the second matchday keeps the team in the top ten, although coach Alberto Gilardino is currently struggling with a long list of injuries which significantly limits the trams's playing options. The loss of Miretti, who usually provides creativity in Genoa's midfield is particularly painful. For Roma, however, the loss of Dovbyk is a heavy blow. The top scorer of the last LaLiga season was firmly integrated into De Rossi's plans and is missed in attack. The capital city team is only missing one player, but that player could be crucial. Things could get tricky for Roma on Sunday as they risk losing two consecutive league games at Genoa for the first time in over ten years. The current form of the visitors raises doubts. They have only won one of their last ten competitive matches recording five draws and 4 defeats. The only victory in this disappointing series, which has been going on since May, came against Genoa.
