Genoa vs. Lazio - prediction, live streaming , Expected lineups

The clash between Genoa and Lazio promises to be an intriguing encounter in Serie A, as both teams seek to solidify their positions in the league standings. Genoa, known for their resilient defensive tactics, will aim to leverage their home advantage at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Conversely, Lazio's attacking prowess, spearheaded by key players such as Ciro Immobile, poses a significant challenge for the hosts. The outcome of this match is difficult to predict due to the fluctuating form of both sides throughout the season.

While Genoa has managed to win only three of their last 17 encounters against Lazio in the league, with 11 losses to their name, they may well feel prepared to take on the Romans this Monday. Since Patrick Vieira took over in November, the Grifoni have accumulated 29 points from 20 matches, a tally that would place them firmly in ninth position on the table.

Indeed, after a goalless draw against Verona last week, the Frenchman can boast the highest points-per-game average (1.45) among all Genoa coaches this century, a testament to his ability to steer the team clear of relegation fears.

Genoa possible starting lineup: Leali; Sabelli, De Winter, Vasquez, Martin; Frendrup, Masini; Zanoli, Miretti, Vitinha; Pinamonti

Lazio possible starting lineup: Mandas; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Rovella; Tchaouna, Dia, Zaccagni; Noslin

Genoa's consistency under Vieira stems from their resolute defense, having conceded only 38 goals in 32 games, the majority before his arrival. Facing a demoralized Lazio, reeling from poor Serie A form and Europa League elimination, backing Genoa could offer good value.Furthermore, Genoa's tactical setup under Vieira seems perfectly suited to exploit Lazio's current fragility. They are disciplined, hard-working, and capable of stifling creative midfielders. Lazio, conversely, appear bereft of ideas going forward and susceptible to defensive lapses. While Lazio boast individual talent, Genoa’s cohesive unit and Vieira's astute game management could prove decisive. Therefore, a wager on Genoa, even if it's a cautious draw no bet, seems a prudent choice considering the circumstances. Their defensive solidity coupled with Lazio's current woes presents a compelling argument. The value lies in Genoa's upward trajectory versus Lazio's clear downward spiral.
