Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Lazio
Genoa Team Overview
🎉Genoa, a team with a rich history and aspirations to reclaim their place at the pinnacle of Italian football, have faced some inconsistency lately: their 12th place in the standings indicates there's room for improvement. The "Grifoni" often show resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 Serie A matches on their turf. They average just under one goal per game, but this is offset by a solid defense, conceding only 0.8 goals over the last ten games.
On April 13, Genoa played out a goalless draw away at Verona (0-0). Despite being dominated by their opponents (xG 0.11 against 1.00), the team displayed a very reliable defensive performance. This marked their second consecutive match without defeat, allowing them to maintain a gap from the relegation zone.
Looking ahead to their upcoming clash, Genoa face significant challenges in squad rotation with several players sidelined. Alan Matturro, Onest Anor, Hugo Cuenca, and Ruslan Malinovskyi are all out until the end of April due to various injuries (muscle strains, meniscus issues, leg injury). Additionally, Mario Balotelli will be unavailable due to a broken wrist. Mattia Bani and Maxwel Cornet are doubtful with muscle injuries. These absences affect multiple positions and impact both defense and attack significantly.

Lazio Rome Team Overview
🎁Lazio are one of Italy's most renowned teams, known for their aggressive playstyle and pursuit of top results. Currently, the "Eagles" sit sixth in the standings, thanks to their impressive attacks and solid defense. However, their last ten games have yielded mixed outcomes: three wins, three losses, and four draws, highlighting the need for better form to compete for European spots. Their last encounter with this club ended in a convincing 3-0 victory for the Romans.
On April 13, Lazio drew 1-1 with Roma in the derby, extending their unbeaten run in Serie A to three matches. Alessio Romagnoli found the net, but the team couldn't hold onto their lead. On April 17, the "Eagles" were knocked out of the Europa League by Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt in a penalty shootout after a 3-3 aggregate score. Despite a 3-1 win in the second leg, they failed to progress due to a 2-0 defeat in the first leg. Norwegian goalkeeper Nikita Haikin emerged as the hero by saving the decisive penalty. This defeat was a blow to the team, who will now focus on securing European spots in Serie A.
Lazio are also facing squad issues. Gustav Isaksen will miss the match due to suspension. Nuno Tavares remains sidelined with a muscle injury (expected to return in early May), and Patric is out with an ankle injury until mid-June. These absences are particularly felt in their defensive line.

Editor's Prediction
The clash between Genoa and Lazio is likely to unfold at the pace typical of their head-to-heads - plenty of chances and at least two goals scored. In Serie A, over 1.5 goals have been recorded in 13 of the last 15 meetings between these teams. Lazio have also maintained a high-scoring trend in recent rounds, with the same total hitting in 15 of their last 17 matches. Against this backdrop, a bet on over 1.5 goals appears well-founded, especially since the first-round game ended with a scoreline of 3-0 in favor of the "Eagles".
