Lazio vs Genoa Preview: Team News and Potential Lineups

Lazio

Lazio will be looking to continue their good form when they host Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. The Biancocelesti have won three of their last four matches in all competitions, including a 3-1 victory over Fiorentina in their last Serie A outing.

Coach Maurizio Sarri is expected to make a few changes to his team for the match against Genoa. Francesco Acerbi is suspended, so Luiz Felipe is likely to come into the defence. Danilo Cataldi is also a doubt, so Lucas Leiva could start in midfield.

Ciro Immobile is Lazio's leading scorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions. The Italian striker will be looking to add to his tally against a Genoa defence that has conceded 41 goals in 24 Serie A matches this season.

Genoa

Genoa are in desperate need of points as they battle to avoid relegation. The Grifone are currently 19th in the Serie A table, just one point above the bottom three.

Coach Davide Ballardini is expected to make several changes to his team for the match against Lazio. Mattia Destro is suspended, so Goran Pandev is likely to start up front. Christian Kouame is also a doubt, so Eldor Shomurodov could start in attack.

Genoa have not won away from home in Serie A since October 2021. They will be hoping to end that run on Sunday against a Lazio side that has not lost at home in the league since September 2021.
