Genoa – Lazio

Genoa, languishing in 19th place with just one point from four games and a meagre 2‑8 goal return, will host Lazio, who sit comfortably in third after amassing ten points from an unbeaten run of three wins and a draw, scoring six and conceding three. The stark contrast in form and firepower sets the stage for a classic underdog duel, with the visitors looking to extend their flawless record against a side that has yet to taste victory this season. Historically, Lazio have dominated the recent encounters, and their superior defensive stability should prove a formidable obstacle for a Genoa side desperate for their first win. A positive result for the hosts could spark a much‑needed revival, but the odds heavily favour the top‑three side to continue their ascent up the table.
