Match Prediction: Genoa vs. Lazio
Genoa, supported by their fans, plays boldly and strives to spend as much time as possible in the opponent's half. This approach has seen Genoa score in 16 of their last 20 home Serie A matches. However, they often make defensive errors, managing only five clean sheets in their last 16 home league games.
Lazio prefers attacking football and remains aggressive even on the road. In their last 19 away Serie A matches, they have failed to score in only four, and in seven games, they have breached the opponent's defense at least twice. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 18 away league games, conceding at least twice in seven of those matches.
I anticipate a high-scoring encounter in this match. My prediction: Total over 2 goals
