Match Analysis

Genoa's recent form shows mixed results with a win, a draw, and a loss in their last three matches. Their defensive solidity is evident as they managed to keep clean sheets in two of these games, notably against Verona and Udinese. Despite a narrow loss to Juventus, Genoa's ability to restrict opponents is underscored by their recent defensive metrics, conceding an average of just 0.4 goals per game in the last five outings. Conversely, Lazio's recent performances include a victory over Atalanta and draws against Roma and Torino. Although they have shown resilience, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding an average of 1.4 goals per game recently. However, Lazio's attacking prowess cannot be underestimated, averaging 1.0 goals per game, and with Ciro Immobile at the helm, they remain a potent threat going forward. Their recent form suggests a competitive edge over Genoa, particularly given their higher league standing and recent performances against stronger opposition.

Final Prediction

Lazio's edge in the upcoming match against Genoa lies in their overall stronger league position and recent competitive performances. While Genoa's defense has been robust, Lazio's offensive capabilities, coupled with their higher league aspirations, position them as favorites. A crucial factor to watch will be Lazio's ability to break down Genoa's defense, which could determine the match's outcome.
