Serie A - Genoa vs. Lazio: Blue Eagle is used to laughing at the mortal enemy in the city, but is now under pressure

The Serie A in the 2025-26 season may have a great change compared to the past. Before the start of the season, Naples, Inter Milan and Juventus were favored. AC Milan, as well as the other strong men of Rome, Atlanta, Lazio, are not favored.

Naples' lineup is strong, and Conte is really good at it. As the defending champion, he should naturally be favored.

Although Inter Milan was expected to compete for the triple championship at the end of last season, its lineup strength is no longer a championship level in Serie A.

Juventus, which has tended to decline in recent years, has the foundation of the Serie A overlord and its strength is not bad.

And AC Milan, which fell into a trough last season, invites meritorious coach Allegri to go back. He has a long way to go and makes more money in the transfer market in the summer and invests less. He may not be able to rebound strongly based on last season.

Rome, Atlanta, and Lazio are worse than the "Four Great Masters", and their current strength is not as good as Serie A.

But the new Serie A season has been surprising since the first round. AC Milan lost to the newly promoted player Cremonese at home. Inter Milan lost to Udinese at home in the second round, and then lost to Juventus away, suffering a two-game losing streak. Naples started with four consecutive victories, and Juventus started with three consecutive victories and tied two consecutive victories.

AC Milan quickly stabilized its position and started a three-game winning streak in the second round. In the fifth round, he defeated Naples 2:1 at home, ending the defending champion's four consecutive victories and taking over its top position.

Roma's results are the same as AC Milan and Naples, and they rank third only because of their goal difference. Lazio, who once laughed at Roma's play for the European Union, had 1 draw and 3 losses in the first four rounds, only 1 point more than the three teams in the relegation zone. If you cannot defeat the weak team Genoa away in this round, you have to fight for relegation.

Nature of the match: Serie A round 5

Match time: September 30 2:45

Genoa finally ranked 13th in Serie A last season, neither up nor down. This season, Serie A has 2 draws and 2 losses, and has 2 points. It ranks seventeenth in the Serie A standings, with the same score as Parma in the relegation zone, and the same score as Pisa and Lecce in the other two relegation zones in one round. The relegation alarm has sounded.

Lazio ranked seventh in Serie A last season, with 1 win, 3 losses and 3 points in the first four rounds of Serie A this season, ranking 14th in the Serie A standings, only 1 point more than Genoa. This is the rhythm of losing the chain from the beginning.

Genoa is in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, and her current performance is normal.

As one of the traditional Serie A giants, Lazio's achievement was defeated.

In recent seasons, Lazio has given people the feeling that he is at ease with a small wealth and has no ambitions. In the transfer market, there are stars selling stars, and the investment in signings lacks strength, and there are no stars to sell in these two seasons. The team's total value is 275 million euros, which is not as good as the city's arch rival Roma (390 million). The player with the highest value in the team is 26-year-old French midfielder Gondozi, with a net worth of 32 million euros. Due to the signing ban, Lazio only went out but didn't go in the summer transfer window.

Genoa has won 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 games, and has not won 2 draws in the league. In the second round of the Italian Cup, Serie B team Empoli was eliminated at home.

Lazio has won 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in the last 10 games in all competitions, and Serie A has suffered two consecutive losses recently.

The two sides have met in the last 10 times, Genoa has been at a disadvantage in 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses, and has lost four consecutive games in recent four league games. Genoa scored 2 goals and conceded 4 goals, and his defense is not bad. The problem is that the offense is weak

Lazio scored 4 goals and conceded 4 goals during the same period, and the defense is OK, and the offense is also weak. Although he scored two more than Genoa, he scored in the game that won Verona at home, and the other three games of Serie A were silent.

Judging from the strength comparison and past confrontations, Lazio is more worthy of attention.
