Genoa vs Lazio Prediction & Preview

Preview

As the Italy Serie A enters its 33rd round this Friday, 19th April, an intriguing matchup is set to take place at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris where Genoa will host Lazio. Under the guidance of coaches Alberto Gilardino and Igor Tudor respectively, both teams are preparing for a clash that could significantly impact their positions on the league table.

Genoa, currently sitting 12th with 38 points, have shown resilience in their recent form with 2 wins and 3 draws in their last five matches. Their latest victory came against Hellas Verona in an away game that ended with a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of Genoa. When playing at home, they tend to increase their goal-scoring capabilities, averaging 1.6 goals per game but also conceding slightly more with an average of 1.8 goals per game.

On the other side of the pitch, Lazio finds themselves in the eighth position on the table boasting a total of 49 points. The team from Rome has had a somewhat mixed form recently; securing three wins but also facing two losses over their last five outings. Their latest display saw them dominating Salernitana at home with a convincing win by four goals to one. Away from home, Lazio scores an average of one goal per game while conceding roughly around 1.67 goals.

The head-to-head record between these two sides slightly favors Lazio who have emerged victorious three times compared to Genoa's two wins out of their last five encounters — including a narrow win for Lazio (1-0) when they hosted Genoa back on December fifth.

Bet

Taking into account both teams' recent performances and statistical data provided for scoring and conceding averages both at home and away settings respectively; it's noticeable that each side has its strengths balanced by certain vulnerabilities. Given these considerations alongside betting odds presented - Home Win (2.87), Draw (3.1), Away Win (2.62), Over/Under Goals - making a selection comes down to identifying where perceived value aligns most closely with likely outcomes based on recent forms. The recommended bet here would be Over 2.5 given at odds of 2 .5 considering both teams' capability to score as seen in past games along with defensive frailties exhibited especially when Genoa plays at home versus how Lazio performs away which might lead toward an engaging match featuring more than two goals scored across ninety minutes plus added time.
