Genoa are on a terrible run stretching all the way back to before Christmas where they have won just once in 16 games in all competitions. Their appalling performances have left Genoa in 16th position in Serie A, although a 9 point gap between them and the relegation places will offer a small crumb of comfort for manager Ivan Jurić. Genoa have failed to score in their last 4 games.
With just 1 win in 4 games, Lazio’s challenge for a Champions League place has faltered somewhat – their resounding 3-0 defeat last weekend at home to Napoli, who occupy the place above them in the table, was a real eye opener for the Biancazzurri. Lazio have only lost 3 of their 15 away games in Serie A this season.
The last time the sides met was in mid-January in the Copa Italia where Lazio recorded a 4-2 win. In the reverse Serie A fixture between the sides, Lazio triumphed once again, this time beating Genoa 3-1. Read our Genoa vs Lazio betting tips below.
Genoa have only won once in Seria A in 2017 – any team with that kind of record has to go into most fixtures as rank outsiders. Lazio have had some tricky fixtures lately and should revel in the chance to play a weaker opponent. Their defeat to Napoli last week was their only league loss in 9 games and I expect them to get their season back on track with a win at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. NetBet have odds of 23/10 for Lazio to win and both teams to score – Lazio have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 5. Lazio top scorer Ciro Immobile is 6/5 to score anytime on Saturday which is also worth a flutter.
