Prediction: 0-1
Lazio
Genoa and Lazio square off against each other at Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the Serie A round 33 curtain-raiser. The Rossoblu are undefeated in the previous four league matches, but it has to be noted that they head into the season finale with the lack of motivation. Junior Messias is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, with Morten Thorsby being ready to step up.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, are only two points behind the Conference League berth. Maurizio Sarri’s men have won three of their last four league matches and seeing that they want this triumph more than Genoa, we are tempted to bet on the capital club. All Luca Pellegrini, Matteo Guendouzi, Ciro Immobile, Mattia Zacagni, Ivan Provedel, and Alessio Romagnoli remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Elseid Hysaj):
Born on 2nd February 1994, Elseid Hysaj is an Albanian defender who has spent his entire professional career in Italian Serie A and he is predicted a bright future in the game. Empoli scouts spotted his talent while he was playing for Shodra youth sides, and after three years in the youth team, the full-back was promoted to the first team set up.
Hysaj performed really well in his first three years as a first team regular, helping the Azzurri gain promotion to the top fight in the process. One season in Serie A proved enough for the right-sided defender to secure a big club move as he joined Napoli in the summer of 2015 and immediately nailed down a regular starting berth.
Capable of doing dirty defensive work as well as making forward runs, Hysaj is a modern full-back, who is destined for big things. The talented footballer is already a key member of the Albania national team and he will represent the country at the Euro 2016 finals.
