Lazio take on the visitors Genoa in the round 23 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, January 30th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Lazio have mostly been disappointing this season. The Eagles ended up being double losers after last season in Serie A. First, they lost the battle for sixth place to Fiorentina not on points, as both finished with 65, but on tiebreakers. Second, Bologna, with rather modest indicators, won the cup, meaning the capital club did not even qualify for the Conference League. As a result, they decided to bring back Sarri. He had recently finished as runner-up here, but so far the only real success has come in the cup against Milan, although the final is still far away. In Serie A, the results were already mediocre, and winter developments only made things worse. With newcomers already involved, the results turned outright sour: a heavy 0–3 loss to Como was followed by a goalless draw against modest Lecce. Looking at recent form, Lazio clearly struggle to turn possession and initiative into points. The lack of wins has increased pressure, and at the moment the team look far from being a reliable contender even for European positions.

Genoa had gone as far as spending a year in Serie B. The coach who brought them back initially did well in Serie A too, but failed to maintain that level the following season. Vieira then became a hero in 2024/2025, but repeated the fate of his predecessor, as in this campaign wins came only in the cup. The Frenchman’s dismissal had an effect, though at first it seemed temporary. However, after a couple of setbacks, De Rossi’s team took points from Milan and thrashed Cagliari. After a 0–0 draw with Parma, they then produced a comeback win against Bologna, ending 3–2. Overall, Genoa’s recent results suggest a clear upward trend. They look far more resilient than earlier in the season and are increasingly capable of picking up points even against stronger opponents.
The 3–0 win in September was the fifth consecutive victory for Lazio in head-to-head meetings. Moreover, during this run they did not concede a single goal. Goals are not really expected here, but both sides should manage at least something. A bet on over 1.5 total goals looks reasonable.
Prediction for the match: Over 1.5 scored goals.
