Roma take on Genoa tonight, aiming to build momentum for the final weeks of the season.
The midweek fixture takes place at Stadio Olimpico at 7:45pm UK time. Despite a mid-season scare, Genoa look to be safe from relegation this season, 11 points clear of the drop zone in 12th. The reverse fixture was remembered for Daniele De Rossi's slap on Gianluca Lapadula, which led to a red card and a penalty for Il Grifone, allowing them to claim a draw. Roma will be hoping to not repeat the errors of that game, with a more mature performance needed. Diego Perotti is still out of the squad, which is unchanged from the one called up against Lazio. Eusebio Di Francesco hopes to have him back for the game versus SPAL at the weekend. The coach's pre-match press conference revealed that Edin Dzeko will be involved in the game. Stephan El Shaarawy, Cengiz Under and Maxime Gonalons were also mentioned as possibilities, although Di Francesco seemed keen to keep his selection choices to himself. A win would take Roma back into 3rd above Inter, who beat Cagliari 4-0 yesterday.
