Genoa will look to make a memorable season double over Lazio as the sides meet this week in Serie A. This match at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium will be played with the hosts starting 12th with 39 points and the visitors in seventh with 49 points. Genoa are unlikely to be dragged into a relegation battle or move up into European qualification places. That hasn’t stopped them from battling hard, as was shown in their recent form. Genoa are unbeaten in four league games, drawing three and winning one. That included battling draws with Juventus and Fiorentina, meaning they are likely to be a tough nut to crack. The hosts have lost two of their last four home league matches, winning only once, but that shouldn’t mask the fact that Genoa are unbeaten in nine of their last 11 home matches in the league.

Lazio are two points behind sixth-placed Atalanta and can temporarily get into European qualification places with a win here. That said, the upcoming second leg of the Coppa Italia semis against Juventus is likely to keep them occupied. That tournament gives the visitors a chance to win silverware, but they need to improve their recent form. Lazio have lost six of their last nine, although a 4-1 win over Salernitana last time out gives them a hint of momentum. A win here will help Lazio avenge the loss in the reverse fixture and also get into the Coppa Italia semis with renewed confidence. More than anything, though, Lazio needs to improve their form, which has fallen off the perch. The visitors lost four of their last five away matches in all competitions, failing to score in three of those.
