The visiting Lazio side should be favourites in this visit to Genoa, as the away team holds a 34 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Genoa form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Genoa have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 6 defeats from 11 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Genoa, as their goalkeeper Mattia Perin has completely shut out the opponents for 235 minutes in the Serie A.
Genoa enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Bologna's place. The match ended 3-0 with Domenico Criscito, Antonio Sanabria and Adama Soumaoro scoring. Ahead of that match, Genoa won a home game hosting Cagliari (1-0).
The Genoa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. Genoa have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Lazio form and stats
Lazio's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Lazio, who have the the best goal difference (+34) in Serie A, collect 23 points from their 11 away matches in the Serie A. 7 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). Things are running smoothly for Lazio who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 19 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Inter. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Inter game have they lost an away game, meaning Lazio has taken points from eight away matches in a row.
Sergej Milinković-Savić and Ciro Immobile scored in Lazio's previous match, the home game against Inter that ended 2-1. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Parma.
Lazio has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 18 goals from 11 games. 11 goals have been conceded by Lazio in these games.
