The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Genoa lock horns with Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Lazio have been impressive in recent weeks and will want to win this game.
Genoa are in 13th place in the Serie A standings at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The away side eased past Spezia by a 2-0 margin last week and will need to be at its best this weekend.
Lazio, on the other hand, currently find themselves in sixth place in the league table and have improved this year. The Biancocelesti thrashed AC Milan in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Lazio vs Genoa Head-to-Head
Lazio have a slight historical advantage over Genoa and have won 12 games out of a total of 28 matches played between the two teams. Genoa have managed 11 victories against Lazio and will want to level the scales in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in January earlier this year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Lazio missed several chances on the day and will have to be more clinical in this match.
