Davide Ballardini insists his Genoa team are not scared by the prospect of facing free-scoring Lazio.

The Biancocelesti top Serie A’s goalscoring charts this season, having found the net 57 times in 22 matches played so far.

However, the Griffone tactician is convinced his side can compete with Simone Inzaghi’s team on Monday night.

“No, they are a very strong team but if Genoa are the Genoa I know we can hold our own,” Ballardini responded when asked if Lazio are to be feared.

“No, they are a very strong team but if Genoa are the Genoa I know we can hold our own,” Ballardini responded when asked if Lazio are to be feared.

“We are attentive, humble and have a lot of desire to get out of this situation.”

Genoa have lost their last two matches to Juventus and Udinese are now just four points clear of the relegation zone.

“You can lose in Turin, but I think we could have done better.

“Against Udinese we lost and it was an important message that we can do more and do better.”
