Lazio vs Genoa Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview

Lazio take on Genoa in Serie A action this Monday. Read the match predictions to find out why Lazio are the betting tip for three points at Stadio Olimpico.

Lazio vs Genoa Preview

Lazio are fresh off the back of two meetings with AC Milan in the space of a few days. They will have been incredibly disappointed to lose against Milan in Serie A last week, falling to a 2-1 defeat at the San Siro. This was then followed by with a 0-0 draw in the Coppa Italia, though Lazio were very unlucky not to win the match.

There are a couple of players that will miss out on the game against Genoa. Davide Di Gennaro is the only player that will definitely be out because of an injury, but Senad Lulic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic are suspended. This is likely to mean that Felipe Anderson and Jordan Lukaku will be selected in the starting 11.

Genoa are not in a great run of form but they do seem to be picking up points on a semi-regular basis. This has helped keep the club in 15th position, which is 4 points above the relegation zone. They have lost two in a row, both of which were 1-0 defeats against Juventus and Udinese. They will go into this match as big underdogs.

Giuseppe Rossi and Miguel Veloso will be missing for the visitors due to injury. Similar to Lazio, Genoa have a suspension issue too, as Nicolas Spolli will have to sit this match out. Stephane Omeonga is likely to take Miguel Veloso’s place in midfield. Luca Rossettini will play in place of Nicola Spolli.

Lazio vs Genoa Prediction

This will be an interesting clash of styles, as Lazio have been very attacking this season and like to score plenty of goals, while Genoa like to set up in a much more defensive manner. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 19 of Lazio‘s last 21 games in Serie A, and in a home match against a bottom half team they will look to grab a few goals again.

Stats suggest that Genoa matches don’t provide many goals at all though, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Genoa‘s last 7 away games in Serie A. Looking at the league table, Lazio should win comfortably, but as we know football is never won on paper.

Lazio are still in 3rd place even though they fell to defeat against AC Milan last week. Genoa are 15th, and they have lost back-to-back games even though all of their defeats have been by a very close margin. Under boss Davide Ballardini, they don’t score many but they don’t concede many either.

Even though Genoa boast the fifth best defence in Serie A, Lazio should still win the match due to their superior players and the fact that the visitors struggle for goals. Even though Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is missing, the tip is still for Lazio to win with a 2-0 Correct Score.

Lazio (3-4-2-1 formation): Strakosha; Caceres, Vrij, Radu; Marusic, Leiva, Parolo, Lukaku; Alberto, Anderson; Immobile

Genoa (3-5-2 formation): Perin; Izzo, Rossettini, Zukanovic; Rosi, Bertolacci, Omeonga, Rigoni, Laxalt; Pandev, Taarabt
