12/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This Bet Builder focuses on Lazio’s superior quality and Genoa’s defensive issues. Zaccagni’s influence in attack provides the individual angle, Lazio’s head-to-head record supports a win, and both sides’ recent defensive lapses make goals at both ends a strong expectation. Together, these selections create a balanced and realistic wager. | |
Mattia Zaccagni to Score
Mattia Zaccagni has been one of Lazio’s most dependable attacking figures in recent campaigns, often stepping up when others around him falter. With Maurizio Sarri’s side plagued by suspensions and injuries, the onus falls heavily on Zaccagni to deliver in the final third. His ability to cut inside from wide areas and finish with precision makes him a constant menace to opposition back lines.
The Genoa defence has conceded in every Serie A game so far, looking vulnerable when pressed and stretched. Patrick Vieira’s men have allowed space in wide areas and struggled with marking attackers who drift between lines – precisely the areas where Zaccagni thrives. With Pedro and Castellanos drawing defenders, Zaccagni should find himself with shooting opportunities.
Furthermore, Zaccagni’s record against teams in the bottom half has been solid, regularly getting himself on the scoresheet in fixtures where Lazio are expected to dictate the game. Facing a Genoa side still seeking momentum and without a clean sheet in the league, this could be the perfect opportunity for him to break through.

Lazio to Win
Despite their unconvincing start, Lazio possess the pedigree and squad depth to navigate this encounter. Sarri’s men may have lost both the Derby della Capitale and their clash with Sassuolo, but their head-to-head record against Genoa tells a different story. Lazio have beaten the Grifone in each of the last four league meetings, keeping clean sheets on every occasion while scoring seven goals.
Even though the Biancocelesti are carrying suspensions and fitness issues, they retain the technical quality and organisational structure to overcome Genoa, who are winless in Serie A and sit precariously near the bottom. While the hosts have had success in the Coppa Italia, their league form paints a bleaker picture: they have repeatedly failed to see out matches, as demonstrated in Bologna where they collapsed late on.
Sarri knows he cannot afford further slips if Lazio are to avoid being dragged deeper into crisis. Genoa’s porous defence and lack of a reliable goalscorer provide Lazio with an ideal platform to get their season back on track. With the likes of Zaccagni, Castellanos and Pedro still capable of delivering moments of quality, Lazio’s superiority should be reflected in the result.
Both Teams to Score
While Lazio’s defensive organisation has historically been a strength, their current circumstances suggest vulnerabilities. With several midfield enforcers missing – Guendouzi and Belahyane suspended, and Vecino still absent – Sarri is left with a lighter shield in front of his back four. Genoa, though far from prolific, have scored in each of their last three matches across competitions, including against Empoli and Bologna.
Lorenzo Colombo may not yet have opened his account this season, but his record of scoring against Lazio for previous clubs suggests he relishes these occasions. Combined with creative threats such as Ruslan Malinovskyi and Mikael Egill Ellertsson, Genoa have enough to trouble a depleted Lazio unit.
On the other side, Lazio’s attacking options remain dangerous. Zaccagni, Castellanos, and Pedro will expect to carve out chances against a Genoa back line that has looked fragile when tested. Given both teams’ current form – Genoa unable to keep teams out, and Lazio conceding to lesser opponents – goals at both ends seem a strong probability.
