An AS Roma outfit that played in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday will be back in action on Saturday, when they take on Genoa in Serie A. The hosts have not won either of their last two league games, struggling defensively in one of those. In contrast, the visitors will turn up in Rome buoyed by their recent victory over Fiorentina. The question is can they deliver the same level of effort away from the comforts of Stadio Luigi Ferraris?

At a price of +137, if player props are for you, then 'Junior Messias 1+ Shots on Target' is a decent bet ahead of Saturday's action in the Italian capital. The Brazilian veteran has been in great shooting form of late, while he has the luxury of taking on a Roma team that has not had much time to prepare for this fixture due to continental commitments.

Our Roma vs Genoa Prediction

Junior Messias may well be entering the twilight of his career at 35, but the Brazilian doesn't appear to be losing his appetite in a Genoa jersey this season. He's been getting himself into regular shooting positions, while in recent games, he's been shooting with fabulous accuracy, registering four shots on target in his last two games. 

Still a threat on the break, Messias could easily do some damage against a Roma team that has not had as much time to rest or prepare for this game. 

Our Roma vs Genoa Pick: Junior Messias 1+ Shots on Target.
