[Serie A] Genoa Vs Lazio Prediction

Lazio are heading to Genoa for the 33rd Serie A match on Friday, aiming for a favorable outcome at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Alberto Gilardino's team are contentedly situated in the middle of the table, with little at stake except securing a higher spot in the standings. Conversely, the Biancoceleste have their sights set on a Champions League berth for the next season.

Having gathered 21 points at home and 18 away, Genoa are focused on securing a top-half finish rather than worrying about teams trailing them in the rankings.

Despite Genoa's recent three-game winless streak (including two losses), Gilardino's squad hopes to achieve a positive result to apply pressure on the team directly above them.

However, Lazio have different plans, as Igor Tudor's side returned to form with a 4-1 victory over Salernitana in their last match.

After enduring two losses in their last three away matches, Tudor aims to establish consistency in the team's performance for the remaining weeks of the season. This consistency could be pivotal in determining whether they contend for fifth place or risk falling outside the Champions League spots. 

Lazio (3-4-2-1): Mandas; Patric, Casale, Gila; Marusic, Vecino, Kamada, Lazzari; Felipe Anderson, Luis Alberto; Castellanos

Prediction: Genoa - Lazio = 1 - 2
