In the meeting with Lecce, the team opened the scoring on 26 minutes - Ciro Immobile scored from Luis Alberto's pass. The Romans kept a minimal advantage until the end of the game, but apparently, they lost concentration and managed to lose not only the victory but also a draw. Lecce scored twice in three minutes and beat Lazio for the second season in a row. Maurizio Sarri's team, given that they have to start in the Champions League this season, lost crucial points. When the second front opens up, it will be much more difficult for Lazio to perform consistently in the national championship.
Genoa
Genoa hosted Fiorentina in the first round and failed in the match. At the beginning of the second half, Genoa conceded the fourth unanswered goal into their net and managed to score only once until the end of the game. 1:4 - The team starts the championship very weakly.
Before the start in Serie A, Alberto Gilardino's team managed to play in the Italian Cup, beating Modena 4:3. In the round of 32 of the tournament in early November, Genoa will play with Reggina.
Expert Betting Tips
In the last championship, Lazio won 11 matches out of 19 on their field. Why shouldn't Maurizio Sarri's team win in the first home game of the new season? Moreover, the Romans needed to rehabilitate themselves for the defeat in Lecce by all means. Their opponents are Genoa, who, judging by the match with Fiorentina, have not yet realized that they are now playing in Serie A and not in Serie B. Let's bet on Lazio and expect a high performance based on the statistics of head-to-head meetings between the rivals.
