Team News

Quotes
"Everything happened in the final minutes, but it happened all in the second half," Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri said after his side's defeat to Lecce.
"We played an unacceptable second half, as a presumptuous team who thought they had already solved the game and when you don't have the right humility the first thing that fails you is the defensive phase.
"In the second half we did the defensive phase with only the four defenders and we found ourselves at the mercy of the opponents. The rest of the team looked back at the defensive phase and these are the consequences."
Head-to-Head
Lazio hammered Genoa 4-1 away in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 10 April 2022 at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
The win extended the Eagles' unbeaten run against the Red and Blues to six games in the Italian top flight.
Lazio have recorded five wins and one draw during their unbeaten run.
