Genoa vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (19 April)

12th in Serie A, Genoa is doing well for its return to the elite and is not really worried by the fight to avoid falling 12 points ahead of the red zone. The promoted team has been making small steps for several weeks, as evidenced by the two successes acquired during the last 10 days, for 5 draws and 3 defeats. Icelandic striker Gudmundsson's partners still remain difficult to beat and have not lost any of their last 4 league matches. After winning on the pitch of Hellas Verona 1-2, they took a point in the lair of Fiorentina last Monday 1-1. Lazio is currently 7th in Serie A and is 2 points behind 6th place, qualifying for the next Europa Conference League.

A string of poor results led to the dismissal of coach Maurizio Sarri during the March international break. Under the orders of Igor Tudor, the Biancocelesti lost the derby contested against the Roma fans 1-0. On the other hand, they won against Juventus 1-0 and Salernitana last weekend 4-1. In the Italian Cup, Lazio fell to Juventus in the first leg of the semi-finals 2-0.

For this meeting, the Genoa coach still has to do without the former Marseillais Malinovskyi and Vitinha. The young Uruguayan defender Matturo (19 years old) is also in the infirmary. Still a scorer on the last day, striker Gudmundsson (13 goals and 3 assists in SA) is essential this season.

He found the net during the last 3 days. At his side, the Italian international Retegui (6 goals in SA) who started on the bench against Fiorentina could take his place.
