Genoa vs Lazio prediction and betting tips on April 19, 2024
One of the matches of the 33rd round of the Italian Championship will be played on Friday in Genoa, where the local Genoa will face Rome's Lazio at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Here's the prediction for the match from the DailySports team.
Genoa
The Genoese have remained undefeated for the past four rounds, yet during this stretch, the "griffins" have only secured one victory - an away win against Verona. In the previous matchday, Genoa visited Florence, where they played to a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina. Consequently, after 32 played matches, the "red-and-blues" occupy the 12th spot in the league table, tallying 39 points. The gap between Alberto Gilardino's squad and the relegation zone has widened to 12 points. Clearly, the Genoese can comfortably finish the season without concerns about retaining their place in the elite division.
Lazio
In contrast to the "griffins," Lazio have entirely different objectives for the season's conclusion. At present, the "Eagles" sit in seventh place in the Serie A standings, amassing 49 points after 32 played rounds. Only two points separate Giovanni Martusciello's side from the sixth position, which grants access to the Conference League. Last weekend, Lazio hosted Salernitana at home and secured a 4-1 victory. The outcome of the match was determined in the first half, with the capital side scoring three precise strikes, while the visitors managed only one goal. This victory marked Lazio's third in the last four rounds, with their sole defeat coming against Roma during this period.
