[Coppa Italia] Lazio Vs Genoa Prediction

Following their hard-fought win in the championship against Cagliari, Lazio is set to make their return to the Olimpico for the first Italian Cup match of the season. Genoa, led by Gilardino, will be their opponents in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, having recently secured a draw against Empoli at Marassi.

Sarri is currently analyzing the rotations and it is anticipated that there will be several changes in the lineup from last Saturday. Provedel will be given a break in the goalkeeper position, with either Mandas or Sepe taking his place. The ballot for this position is wide open. Additionally, there will be a switch in the full-back positions, with Marusic and Lazzari being replaced by Hysaj and Pellegrini. The central pairing of Gila and Patric will remain unchanged.

Due to disciplinary issues, Vecino will not be playing in the midfield, but Guendouzi still can take his place on the right side, unless Sarri decides to surprise us with Basic. Cataldi, the top choice, will be returning to the midfield over Rovella. On the left side, Kamada will be replacing Luis Alberto.

Castellanos takes the starting position in the attack, while Immobile begins on the bench. The wing positions are filled by Felipe Anderson and Isaksen, with Pedro also in contention for a spot.

This season's first Serie A match against Genoa took place at their home stadium, the Stadio Olimpico. The game concluded 0-1 in favor of the visitors. Lazio must be particularly cautious since Genoa frequently makes it difficult for superior teams. Fortunately, Lazio had a positive trend leading up to the game. They won two consecutive events in two different events: Serie A and the European Champions League.

Lazio (4-3-3): Sepe; Hysaj, Patric, Gila, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Cataldi, Kamada; Isaksen, Castellanos, Felipe Anderson

Prediction: Lazio - Genoa = 1 - 0
