Genoa - Lazio predictions

Beating Lazio will not be easy, but we believe Genoa are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Given their reputation for perseverance, we expect Lazio to give their best effort in this match.

Genoa kept their hopes of a positive result from the previous Serie A clash alive for the full 45 minutes. A draw at halftime was off the table in the second half when a single goal prevented Genoa from earning a point, however (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

The away team were the hosts in the previous round of the Serie A, so the 0:1 loss was a disappointment for their home supporters. To be fair, though, their chances of winning against Roma never looked all that great, and they ended up being behind at both halftime and the final whistle.

Looking strictly at the home side, this match can be a solid choice for a bet like the Under 5 Goals market. Their previous two games at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris ended up confirming even Under 5 Goals.

If there’s any consistency to be found in the recent match history of The Biancocelesti, it’s that the games tend to be rather uneventful. The latest two ended up with fewer than 2 goals on the score board.

Genoa’s 16th table placement puts them right in the relegation zone. Although they still have a lot of time to earn a better spot, meeting Lazio this Monday is a major roadblock between them and a moving up.

Although we’re still very early in the season, the Serie A’s leading table positions are already highly contested. Lazio are placed at 13th, which definitely leaves room for improvement. A victory at Genoa would be a great move in the right direction, considering it’s not exactly an easy matchup.

With multiple decisive victories over Genoa on record, it’s easy to see why most bookies online consider The Biancocelesti the favourites in this matchup. Although these wins are largely from the previous season, they were all secured with a hefty goal lead.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.62. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
