Team Key Players
Genoa:
- Andrea Pinamonti is Genoa’s central striker and a constant threat in the box. His positioning and finishing are vital to Genoa’s scoring chances.
- Milan Badelj, the team captain, provides leadership and defensive coverage in midfield.
- Fabio Miretti, a creative outlet in midfield, supports transitions and breaks lines with passing.
Lazio:
- Mattia Zaccagni, playing as the right attacking midfielder, is Lazio’s most creative winger and can break through tight defenses with dribbling.
- Gustav Isaksen, operating from the left side, combines speed and technical skill to drive forward plays.
- Taty Castellanos leads the attack as the lone striker and remains a clinical finisher inside the box.
Match Pick: Under 2.5 goals
Given Genoa’s defensive resilience and Lazio’s recent lack of multi-goal games (especially away), this game leans toward a low-scoring outcome. The average total goals across both teams’ performances is 2.66, but historical head-to-head and current form suggest a cautious, strategic contest.
