Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position
Lazio’s four-match winning streak across all competitions was interrupted last weekend when they fell short at the hands of Juventus, albeit the club directors will point to some controversial refereeing decision to justify the result. Regardless, the Biancocelesti bounced back by registering their third Europa League win in a row at FC Twente’s expense.
With Udinese and Torino winning their fixtures on Friday, Marco Baroni’s men fell to ninth place in the Serie A table, so they’ll be determined to beat Genoa at all costs to climb back the table and remain within striking distance of the Champions League zone.
Genoa Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position
Since their victory over Monza on the second matchday of the season, Genoa have been without a win in all competitions. The Grifone currently reside in a disappointing 18th place, while the early Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of their crosstown rivals Sampdoria was another major blow to the team’s morale.
Unfortunately for Alberto Gilardino, it seems that all the circumstances have combined to hamper his team’s path since the start of the season. This includes the financial woes of the club’s owners 777 Partners, as well as a devastating injury crisis that ravaged a squad already weakened by a disappointing transfer campaign.
