Lazio vs Genoa Prediction: Will the Romans sacrifice the cup tournament?

Prediction for the Coppa Italia match which will take place on December 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The team played a home Italian league match against Cagliari last Saturday and needed a win, given that they had lost the away game to Salernitana (1:2) a day earlier. Lazio managed to win, although not without problems. Pedro opened the scoring in the opening period, and towards the end of the first half, the Biancocelesti found themselves on the power play but failed to build on their success. As a result, it was a nervous ending in which the opponents could well equalize the score. 1:0 - an important victory for Lazio, but not without questions about the game.

In Serie A, Lazio are currently in ninth place. But in many ways, this not-so-great intermediate result compensates for the success in the Champions League, where Lazio reached the playoffs before the last round of the group stage.

The Genoese also played a home match on Saturday and drew 1:1 with Empoli. Genoa opened the scoring in the 37th minute - Ruslan Malinovskyi had a great long-range shot. In the middle of the second half, the opponent restored the balance, which was the game's end. It was not the best result for Alberto Gilardino's team, given that they played at home. However, the handicap from the relegation zone is preserved and is currently calculated at five points.

In the Italian Cup, Genoa started their journey from round of 64, beating Modena (4:3) and Reggiana (2:1 in extra time).

Lazio lacks the human resources to successfully perform on two fronts, so the team does not need the third tournament exactly. The Biancocelesti won't sacrifice it, but they won't prevent their departure, playing in the upcoming match with the most experimental lineup. Accordingly, we bet on Genoa, as well as on TU.
