Genoa and Lazio bring round five of Italian Serie A to an end when they lock horns at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium on Monday. Maurizio Sarri’s men head into the game on a run of four consecutive victories over the hosts and will be looking to extend this impressive two-year streak.
Genoa turned in a dominant team display on Thursday when they picked up a 3-1 victory over Empoli in their Coppa Italia round-of-32 clash at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
This was a much-needed result for Patrick Vieira’s side, who now return to action in Serie A, where they have failed to win their opening four matches, losing twice and claiming two draws so far.
Genoa have picked up just two points from the first 12 available to sit 18th in the Serie A standings, one point and two places behind Monday’s visitors.

Lazio, on the other hand, were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against bitter rivals AS Roma in the Derby Della Capitale last Sunday.
Sarri’s side have lost three of their four Serie A matches this season, with a 4-0 home victory over Hellas Verona on August 31 being the exception.
Lazio will now head into Monday’s game looking to find their feet and avoid losing each of the first three Serie A away matches of the season since the 1969-70 campaign.
