Lazio vs Genoa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-10-26 14:00.
[p]Lazio’s valiant efforts were eventually in vain last weekend as Alessio Romagnoli’s first-half red card saw them fighting with just ten men away to Juventus. Even still, they looked to be heading towards an impressive 0-0 draw before a late own goal cost them the point. They did bounce back immediately in Europa League action during the week, beating FC Twente 2-0 on the road – a fifth win from their last six competitive matches. [/p]
[p]With the home side now seemingly finding their groove under manager Marco Baroni, who arrived in the summer, they should arrive into this contest against a struggling Genoa with confidence, especially given their dominant recent H2H history at this venue, with all but one of their past six competitive meetings between the two going Lazio’s way (L1).  [/p]
[p]Genoa’s one victory in that run came last season in league action, and they’d love to repeat having posted just one win so far this campaign (D3, L4). That came way back in mid-August, with a winless run of seven competitive games thereafter (D2, L5), yet manager Alberto Gilardino might have taken some comfort from the way in which his team rallied last time out, with two goals in the final 20 minutes of the match rescuing a point at home to Bologna. [/p]
[p]Gilardino’s men picked up their only three points of the season on the road against Monza (1-0), yet two other league trips this season ended in defeat – somewhat heavily in their most recent against Atalanta (5-1). That added to their record of 17 goals conceded, which is not only the second-highest coming into the round, but also only the third time they have conceded so many goals at this stage of the season in the three points for a win era. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Veteran Pedro is showing no signs of slowing down, as including a strike in midweek, he’s registered five goal contributions (G3, A2) this season, all of which came in wins. Andrea Pinamonti’s brace against Bologna were his third and fourth competitive goals since joining Genoa in the summer – proved his side’s only goalscorer in each of those games. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: None of the previous 16 competitive H2Hs have finished goalless. [/p]
