SS Lazio arrive after an early Coppa Italia exit and a league victory as they prepare to host Genoa. Lazio were knocked out of the Coppa Italia after losing to Mantova in the first-round fixture and then returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win against Bologna in Serie A. Gennaro Gattuso is in charge of the home side, who will aim to extend that winning run at the Stadio Olimpico. Being at home is noted in the report as an advantage for Gattuso’s team.
Genoa come into the match having lost 0-2 to Napoli in their opening Serie A game. The report states Genoa secured a win in the first round of the Coppa Italia but were unable to match Napoli in the league opener. The team is identified in the article as being led by Daniele De Rossi.
The article notes a recent head-to-head run: Genoa have failed to secure a win in their last five matches against Lazio. It adds that Genoa "will have to come up with a calm and composed approach or otherwise they should get ready to drop three more points." The piece frames the upcoming contest as a tough one for the De Rossi-led side.
