"Starting with the hosts, extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the week as they cruised their way to a routine 3-1 victory at home against Empoli, Genoa will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, spending large spells of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Patrick Vieira's men have once again failed to find any kind of fluidity since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Last seen falling to a 2-1 defeat away at Bologna, the former Crystal Palace boss has not seen his squad muster a single win from their first four Serie A appearances (two defeats, two draws)."
"Genoa Team News Yet to make his Genoa debut after arriving from Besiktas over the summer, Jean Onana remains on the sidelines with a thigh issue. Likewise, not featuring after returning on another season-long loan switch from West Ham on Deadline Day, Maxwel Cornet is still a major doubt. Completing a permanent switch from Premier League giants Arsenal last year, 21-year-old Brooke Norton-Cuffy should make a full return at right-back. Opening his domestic account with a Coppa Italia strike against Empoli earlier in the week, Danish international Morten Frendrup will keep his spot in the middle of the park."
"As for the visitors, while Maurizio Sarri might have made the decision to stay put at the Stadio Olimpico over the summer, the former Chelsea boss finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling point. Falling to a 1-0 loss against arch-rivals Roma last weekend, the Eagles are in the midst of what has become a public crisis."
Lazio travel to Liguria to meet Genoa on Monday night with a betting verdict of 'Both teams to score - No' and best odds 4/5 from Olympusbet. Genoa followed a routine 3-1 Coppa Italia win over Empoli but still lack Serie A victories this season, recording no wins in their first four league matches and just one win in eleven top-flight fixtures. Jean Onana and Maxwel Cornet are doubts due to injuries, while Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Morten Frendrup are set to feature. Lazio lost 1-0 to Roma, increasing pressure on Maurizio Sarri.
