Roma Keep Clean Sheet Against Genoa

Roma welcomed Genoa to the Stadio Olimpico on 17 October 2026 for a Serie A Round 7 fixture played under clear skies at 18 degrees. Gian Piero Gasperini's side, priced at 1.73 pre-match, controlled the contest from the outset and were rewarded with a second-half breakthrough from Santiago Castro on 50 minutes. Young midfielder Emanuele Lulli doubled the advantage on 68 minutes, and a disciplined defensive display, anchored by player-of-the-match Leonardo Balerdi, ensured the visitors, coached by Daniele De Rossi, were kept at bay. The 2-0 victory was built on patience in possession and a well-organized back line that never allowed Genoa a route back into the match.
