Roma vs Genoa - 28 May 2017
Roma will bid a fond farewell to long-serving captain Francesco Totti when Genoa visit for the season-finale on Sunday, but they cannot be distracted from the task at hand with automatic qualification to the Champions League on the line.
Not surprisingly, this match reportedly sold out in a flash. Totti is viewed as not just a Roma icon, but a legend of Italian football, and although he’s not expected to play from the start, fans will be looking forward to this match.
Fortunately for Roma perhaps, their upcoming opponents have been in lousy form as of late, so viewers could be in for a real treat. Genoa have won just three out of their last 22 games and have plummeted down the table. The Grifone are only saved by both Pescara and Palermo already being demoted, and the relegation battle is set to be decided between Empoli and a recently resurgent Crotone.
The Lupi come into this game having fired in five past Chievo. Although they conceded three against the Flying Donkeys, it was still enough to earn them a well-deserved road win to further strengthen their chances at ensuring they gain an automatic Champions League berth.
Genoa have been dismal on the road, so really could be in for a real hammering on Sunday. Roma have netted at least three goals per game in four out of their last five, including against Juventus at this same ground recently. All in all, they have netted three or more goals in 11 out of their 18 home fixtures. With Edin Dzeko back in action, the big Bosnian will want to clinch the Capocannoniere prize by perhaps adding a goal or two to his growing total on Sunday.
