Genoa, like Cagliari, has only won one game all season and is therefore in the relegation zone. This Friday they have another unbeatable opportunity to get the win to try to lift a ship that has not been sailing in all of 2021.

Lazio is in ninth place with 25 points, but if they win, they could reach 28 points and momentarily tie Roma and Juventus and fight for the European places.

Lazio and Genoa open the Serie A fixture in search of three important points. We begin with VAVEL's coverage.

He lost his starting place last game, but Mexican Johan Vazquez, despite the crisis, has been one of the pleasant revelations in the defensive sector and has been one of the players who has prevented more hand-to-hand in Serie A.

If there is a player that goes through the seasons and does not stop scoring goals is the always effective Ciro Inmobile, who in 15 games has contributed with 13 goals to be in the top 5 scorers in Serie A.

57 Salvatore Sirigu, 5 Andrea Masiello, 4 Domenico Criscito, 3 Zinho Vanheusden, 33 Hernani, 27 Stefano Sturaro, 47 Milan Badelj, 50 Andrea Cambiaso, 18 Paolo Ghiglione, 20 Caleb Ekuban, 19 Goran Pandev.

There was much talk that with the arrival of Andriy Shevchenko to the coaching staff the team could improve, but the reality is that good results are not coming and last Friday they suffered a painful setback against Sampdoria at home by a score of 3-1. They are second to last overall with only 10 points and need to start adding up if they do not want to have complications at the end of the season.

Lazio have entered a results crisis having won only one of their last five games in any competition and on Sunday they suffered a painful setback against Sassuolo that has them stuck in ninth place with 25 points, but one of the worst defenses in the whole championship having allowed 32 goals.

The Lazio vs Genoa match will be played at the Olympic Stadium, in Roma, Italy. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:30 pm ET.
