Genoa
- Genoa have won one of their last five matches in all competitions (D2, L2).
- Genoa bounced back from a 2-1 away defeat to Bologna in Serie A with a 3-1 home win over Empoli in the Coppa Italia, extending their recent run of results to one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five in all competitions.
- Patrick Vieira took over as coach in November 2024 and has since installed a new style on Genoa that has elements of both the possession-based football of his playing career and the high-pressing style he utilised at Crystal Palace.
SS Lazio
- SS Lazio have won two of their last five games in all competitions (L3).
- SS Lazio head into this game after consecutive defeats in Serie A, a 1-0 loss to Sassuolo away from home and a 1-0 defeat against AS Roma at home.
- Maurizio Sarri has brought back his famous ‘Sarriball’ system at the Stadio Olimpico, which features intricate triangles in the central positions, high-tempo football, vertical passing lines and a high defensive line when they’re pressing.
Head-to-Head
- SS Lazio have won their last five Serie A head-to-head matchups against Genoa.
- However, Lazio’s away form this season has been cause for concern, losing two from two in 2025/26.
- Vieira’s team have been relatively solid at the back in their home turf, conceding just once in their opening two games, but Sarri’s Lazio have been leaking goals on the road, conceding three times in their previous two.
