Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Olimpico will host Friday’s football game between Lazio and Genoa, the two teams who were beaten by Sassuolo and Sampdoria respectively at the weekend. The Biancocelesti were without key midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in Sunday’s clash, but the Serbia international is back from suspension. Both Luis Alberto and Pedro are rated doubtful for the game.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, failed to impress in the Derby della Lanterna, and given their three-game losing run, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the capital club. As for the visiting side, all Cassata, Fares, Rovella, and Caicedo are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting in the “Eternal City” Lazio defeated Genoa 4-3, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home team.
