Roma host Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico in a Serie A fixture that arrives at a difficult moment for Gian Piero Gasperini's side.

The Giallorossi are licking their wounds after a dramatic Champions League defeat to Real Madrid, a match they led 3-1 before conceding three times in the final minutes to lose 4-3. The manner of that collapse — three goals from corners in the closing stages — has left serious questions about the squad's ability to manage games when it matters most.

Gasperini now faces those questions without two of his most important attacking players. Paulo Dybala picked up an injury at half-time against Real Madrid, while Donyell Malen is suspended. It is a significant blow to Roma's attacking options heading into a league game they will be expected to win.

Genoa arrive in Rome in a precarious position near the foot of the table, managed by Daniele De Rossi. Their recent Serie A form has been inconsistent, though they did beat Fiorentina in their last league outing.

For Roma, this is a chance to respond — and to give fringe players the opportunity to stake a claim. The Olimpico crowd will want a reaction after midweek.

Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Roma vs Genoa, including TV channel, live stream, and kick-off time.

Gasperini is without Paulo Dybala, who was forced off at half-time during the midweek Champions League match, and Donyell Malen, who serves a suspension. Bryan Cristante and Mile Svilar also remain unavailable through injury. The projected XI includes Pierluigi Gollini in goal, with a back three of Evan N'Dicka, Gianluca Mancini, and Mario Hermoso. Nahuel Molina and Wesley provide width, Manu Koné and Marten de Roon sit in midfield alongside Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Santiago Castro leads the attack. Koné's involvement will be monitored after he was substituted in tears during the Real Madrid match.

De Rossi's Genoa are without a lengthy list of players, including Joi Xheto Nuredini, Elias Havel, Lorenzo Colombo, Franz-Ethan Meichtry, Lorenzo Venturino, Djibril Sow, Sebastian Otoa, and Amorim. The projected Genoa XI features Justin Bijlow in goal, with Stephan El Shaarawy and Junior Messias providing attacking threat and Milutin Osmajic leading the line.

Form

Roma have won one, drawn two, and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing ended in a 4-3 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League — a result that followed a 0-0 draw with Como in Serie A. Earlier in the run, Roma drew 2-2 with Inter and beat Torino 2-0 away from home. Across those five matches, Roma have scored eight goals and conceded seven, with their defensive record a growing concern.

Genoa have won one, drawn one, and lost two of their last five competitive matches, with a friendly defeat also included in that stretch. Their best recent result was a 2-1 win at Fiorentina, while they lost 2-1 to Parma in Serie A. They drew 1-1 with Frosinone and beat Sudtirol 1-0 in the Coppa Italia earlier in the run.

Head-to-Head Record

The most recent meeting between these two clubs saw Genoa win 2-1 at home in March 2026 in Serie A, ending a run of Roma dominance in the fixture. Before that, Roma had beaten Genoa 3-1 twice in succession — in December 2025 and January 2025 — both at the Olimpico. Across the last five head-to-head matches, Roma have won three and Genoa one, with one draw, and Roma have scored nine goals to Genoa's six in that period.
