Lazio – Genoa. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Italian championship

On January 30, the match of the 23rd round of Italian Serie A will be held at the Stadio Olimpico, in which Lazio will meet Genoa. The match will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

Lazio

The team not so long ago became the vice-champion under the leadership of Sarri. So it is not surprising that the decision was made to reunite with this specialist in the summer. The return conditions for Maurizio were, in fact, optimal: in the previous draw there was a failure, with seventh place, outside the zone of the European Cups. But, on the other hand, it seemed to be easier for the coach: you need to show progress, without additional load.

It just doesn’t work out, the management also helped by selling Castellanos and, most importantly, Genduza in January. In the end, already bad results turned sour: in the final matches, the Romans were defeated by Como 0:3 and did not score against Lecce, ending with a goalless draw. In the end, the coach himself, although he said that he is staying, at the same time says that he does not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Genoa

The club is willing to do what they prefer to avoid in the capital. It is quite easy to change the mentor here. Last season, instead of Gilardino, despite his merits (raised from Serie B and kept in the elite division), Vieira was invited, and he coped with the task of preventing relegation. But now, when there were enough problems, Patrick was released without much delay.

And again, the team from Genoa received an impulse from the casting. At least we managed to get out of the departure zone. And now the unbeaten streak has already reached five matches in a row. Moreover, in the last round there was a victorious comeback from 0:2 against Bologna – and Malinovskyi’s cool free kick turned the situation around.

Statistics of personal meetings

3:0 in September on the road became the fifth consecutive victory of the capital club in face-to-face confrontations with the Genoese.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe that Sarri’s wards can win here. But taking into account the form of both teams, it is worth betting that the wards of Daniele de Rossi will not lose here (coefficient – 1.72).
