Lazio are among a clutch of teams in the running for a European place before the end of the campaign, with four teams pushing for two spots. The restructuring of the Serie A UEFA co-efficient means Italy now has only one Europa League place and a newly-selected Europa Conference League spot.
Maurizio Sarri’s side have already bowed out of this season’s Europa League and the visitors look well placed to fight for it again in the coming weeks, with three wins from their last four league games. In contrast, hosts Genoa have won just once in their last nine Serie A games, plus a frustrating run of seven straight draws prior to Torino at home before the international break.
Lazio have also maintained a solid run of goalscoring form in 2022, with 21 league goals scored in 12 league games since the start of the year. That run has included eight games ending with more that 2.5 total goals scored after 90 minutes, with Lazio netting over 1.5 goals themselves in four of their last seven matches Serie A fixtures.
Alongside sticking the ball in the net at one end, Lazio have also improved defensively in 2022. They managed six clean sheets in Serie A, including shutouts against Atalanta, Fiorentina and Bologna. Genoa have struggled in front of goal in recent weeks, with a poor record of three goals in their last nine league games.
A win of for Lazio would offer a real boost to their hopes of sealing a European spot in the coming weeks. A 2-0 away win is well within their grasp, based on recent results including just one goal conceded in their last three wins.
