SS Lazio Roma vs. Genoa CFC, 1:0

Embattled giant Lazio host Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico as Week 16 of Serie A resumes on Sunday. Lazio have had a disastrous start to the season and went down to a defeat against their nemesis in last week’s derby. That result was the thirteenth consecutive time the Laziali have watched their side fail to record a win in Serie A this term. While Lazio’s problem has been scoring goals, just three in their last 810 minutes of League football, and one of those was an own goal, the Rossoblu have been scoring for fun. Ten goals in their last four matches are part of their total of 28, that tally matches second placed Juventus and is only bettered by leaders Inter. Julio Cruz is still suspended after his tussle with Napoli’s Leandro Rinaudo, but this will be the last game he misses for Lazio. Midfielders Roberto Baronio and Stefano Mauri also miss this one in order to serve a ban. Meanwhile, the injury list contains midfielders Riccardo Perpetuini, Francelino Matuzalem, Christian Manfredini and striker Simone Inzaghi. The visitors have less selection worries. Only defender Andrea Esposito, Moroccan midfielder Houssine Kharja and Serb striker Bosko Jankovic have been making visits to the club doctor this week. When the two clubs faced off last season it ended in a 1-1 draw. Diego Milito opened for Genoa before Ousmane Dabo equalised with 10 minutes to go, but Milito did not leave the Olimpico a hero as he had also missed a penalty earlier in the game. REVIEW:
