Genoa - LLDDWD
Vitinha (Leg injury), Junior Messias (muscular problems), Mattia Bani (muscular problems), Ruslan Malinovskyi (Hamstring muscle injury) and Alan Matturro (surgery) won’t be able to feature for Genoa manager Alberto Gilardino.
It’s our opinion that Il Grifone look set to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, utilising Josep Martinez, Alessandro Vogliacco, Koni De Winter, Johan Vasquez, Stefano Sabelli, Morten Frendrup, Milan Badelj, Albert Gudmundsson, Aaron Caricol, Mateo Retegui and Caleb Ekuban.
Genoa head into this match following a 1-1 Serie A draw versus Fiorentina.
In that match, Genoa had 41% possession and 7 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Genoa was Albert Guðmundsson (42'). On the other side, Fiorentina had 20 shots on goal with 3 on target. Jonathan Ikoné (54') was the scorer for Fiorentina.
Alberto Gilardino's Genoa have found the net 8 times in their last six outings. The corresponding number of goals that they have conceded in those games amounts to 7.
Coming into this meeting, Genoa haven’t won at home in the past 2 league games.
Lazio - LWWLLW
Lazio manager Igor Tudor has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Luca Pellegrini (Ankle injury), Ivan Provedel (Ankle injury), Mattéo Guendouzi (Calf injury) and Mattia Zaccagni (Ankle injury) will not be playing here.
It’s our belief that i Biancocelesti will likely utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Christos Mandas, Nicolo Casale, Patric, Mario Gila, Manuel Lazzari, Adam Marusic, Matias Vecino, Daichi Kamada, Felipe Anderson, Gustav Isaksen and Valentin Castellanos.
Lazio come into this encounter after a 4-1 Serie A win with the eclipse of Salernitana in their most recent match.
In that game, Lazio had 65% possession and 17 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. For Lazio, goals were scored by Felipe Anderson (7', 35'), Matías Vecino (14') and Gustav Isaksen (87'). On the other side, Salernitana got 8 shots on goal with 5 on target. Loum Tchaouna (16') scored for Salernitana.
The stats tell the story, and Lazio have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 8 goals in all. In defence, Lazio have clearly had some problems. That being said, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend might be replicated in this next match.
Ahead of this clash, Lazio are undefeated by Genoa in games played away from home for the previous 3 matches in the league.
Genoa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; De Winter, Vasquez, Vogliacco; Sabelli, Frendrup, Badelj, Strootman, Martin; Gudmundsson, Retegui
Lazio possible starting lineup:
Mandas; Patric, Casale, Gila; Lazzari, Vecino, Kamada, Marusic; Anderson, Alberto; Castellanos

Prediction: Genoa 2-2 Lazio
