Lazio vs Genoa preview, kick-off time, where to watch and prediction | OneFootball

Lazio chase a second straight Serie A win when Genoa visit the Stadio Olimpico this weekend.

The match kicks off at 21:45 local time on Sunday 30 August in Rome. According to The Laziali, international broadcast details are available via verified TV listings.

Lazio’s season began with a shock as Mantova won 2-0 in the Coppa Italia at the Olimpico. League play brought a response, Davide Frattesi’s goal earned a 1-0 win at Bologna under Gennaro Gattuso. They are set to play in a virtually empty home stadium on Sunday, and how they handle that backdrop remains to be seen.

Genoa cruised past Ascoli 4-1 to progress in the cup and set up Südtirol. In Serie A they fell 2-0 to Napoli at the Luigi Ferraris, Kevin De Bruyne’s opener drew controversy for a perceived foul on Johan Vazquez before Antonio Vergara added the second.

Lazio won 3-0 in Genoa last term, then 3-2 in Rome, the latter sealed by a Danilo Cataldi penalty. They have beaten the Grifone in each of the clubs’ last seven meetings. New signing Andrea Pinamonti, 27, joined on Thursday and could debut against his former side after spells there in 2019/20 and 2024/25.

Prediction, Lazio 1-1 Genoa. Daniele De Rossi’s side looked organised and hard to break down, with Tommaso Baldanzi, Vitinha and Lorenzo Colombo offering threat. Gattuso appears to be leaning on Frattesi and Kenneth Taylor’s movement while Boulaye Dia has yet to impose himself, so unless Mattia Zaccagni rediscovers form or Pinamonti makes an instant impact off the bench, a draw may beckon.
