Genoa vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (29 September)

During the previous exercise, the Genoa did not tremble to ensure its maintenance and hopes to do the same this season. The start of the championship is currently slow but the calendar has not been mild. The men of Patrick Vieira especially disappointed during the 1st day by conceding, at home, the sharing of points against Lecce 0-0. Otherwise, they brought back a good draw of Como 1-1 and lost, on the smallest of the margins each time, against Juventus 0-1 and Bologna last weekend 2-1.7th of Serie in last year with the same number of points as the 6th, Lazio shortly missed the last continental Strapontin. The objective is to find Europe at the end of this exercise 2025/2026.

For this, the leaders recalled coach Maurizio Sarri, who has already occupied this bench from 2021 to 2024. Biancocelesti are for the moment, attests to their 13th place in the ranking. They only won against Hellas Verona on the 2nd day 4-0. Otherwise, Lazio lost against Como 2-0, Sassuolo 1-0 and its rival, Roma, last weekend 0-1. 

Historically, Lazio have dominated this fixture, winning five of the last six meetings, including a 2-0 victory in April. However, Genoa’s home advantage and Lazio’s current form suggest a more balanced contest this time. Gilardino is likely to deploy a compact 3-5-2 formation, aiming to frustrate Lazio’s build-up play and hit on the counter. Expect Gudmundsson and Retegui to be key figures in Genoa’s attacking setup, with the latter poised to test Lazio’s shaky backline. Sarri, on the other hand, may opt for tactical tweaks, possibly introducing Isaksen or Castellanos to inject pace and unpredictability.

With both teams underperforming and defensive lapses common, a tightly contested match is on the cards. Genoa’s hunger for a first win, combined with Lazio’s vulnerability away from home, tilts the balance slightly in favor of the hosts. A 2-1 scoreline in Genoa’s favor feels plausible, especially if they capitalize on set pieces and maintain defensive discipline. While neither side has impressed so far, this fixture offers a chance for redemption—and Genoa might just seize it.
