AS Roma beat Genoa 2-0 to stay second in Serie A
AS Roma beat Genoa 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico on Matchday 7 of Serie A, with both goals coming after a goalless first half. The result ended a run of 3 games without a win for Gian Piero Gasperini's side, who had lost 4-3 at home to Real Madrid in their previous game.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
The breakthrough arrived five minutes after the restart. Santiago Castro scored in the 50th minute to put the home side 1-0 up, after a first half in which neither side found a way through. Roma had controlled the ball throughout, finishing with 66% possession against 34% for Genoa.
The second arrived in the 68th minute, when E. Lulli finished from a Matías Soulé assist to make it 2-0. Daniele De Rossi's side, who had beaten Fiorentina 2-1 in their last outing, managed only one shot on target in the match and could not find a route back into it.
The win lifted Roma from third to second, on 17 points, while Genoa dropped from 17th to 19th on 4 points. Roma next host Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, while Genoa entertain Venezia in Serie A on Sunday 25 October.
Leonardo Balerdi carried the highest rating of any player in the match at 7.81. E. Lulli, who scored the second goal, was rated 7.43, just ahead of goalscorer Santiago Castro on 7.39.
Roma had 5 shots on target to Genoa's 1, a gap that reflected how little threat the visitors posed once they fell behind.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave AS Roma 73%, the draw 20%, Genoa 7%. It finished AS Roma 2–0 Genoa.
Roma's strength gap drives a one-sided forecast — We give AS Roma 73% mainly because our strength rating has them clearly stronger, 1860 to 1597, though home sides in Serie A generally under-perform the global norm, which nudges things slightly towards Genoa. The draw sits at 20%, close to the usual rate for a gap this size, with Serie A's draw rate and typical scoring cancelling out.
Why AS Roma at 73%?
AS Roma sit 263 points higher on our strength rating — 1860 to 1597. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge at home won 79.2% of 5,567 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 72–21–7.
Why not higher?
Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,142 games vs 44.6% across all 101,264 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 20%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,198.
What did we measure but not count?
AS Roma have averaged 5 percentage points more possession than Genoa in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. AS Roma are unbeaten in their last 15 home Serie A games: 11 wins and 4 draws. The run began on 15 December 2025. Last recorded home league defeat: 30 November 2025 — AS Roma 0–1 Napoli. Latest home league result: 19 September 2026 — AS Roma 2–2 Inter. Across 13,724 historical matches following an unbeaten home league run of at least six games, hosts won 56.0%, compared with 54.8% expected from team strength. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
