Genoa are completely unmotivated lately, they are safe, but it is the question if the yare interested in keeping their 8th place and to play Intertoto Cup. That is why it is no wonder they have only take a few shots on the goal at Tardini. They are also beaten in the last game at Marassi by Empoli. It will not ruin the general impression, no one cares because they have accomplished their aim. They are already thinking about the next season while the players can’t wait for the holiday to start. With the elimination from the Italian cup by Inter, Lazio have practically ended the bad season. The last hope they will reach Europe through the Coppa Italia has failed. They paid the price for playing Champions League during the autumn. The fans are not pleased, there were many insults on chairman Lotito but also on the players and the coach. The manager is to be sacrificed in those circumstances usually,, so it is now uncertain if Delio Rossi will remain on the bench in the next season. Media are already searching someone to replace him and except for Brazilian Zico, current Palermo manager, Colantuono, is also being mentioned.

Genoa accomplished their aim

After long 12 years, Grifoni had come back on the big scene. It is a long period for the club that even used to win titles and which is among the top ten clubs in the history of Italian football. Chairman Preziosi, who had invested a lot in this club, said that the only ambition is to avoid relegation. However, without many problems, they made it to the upper half of the table, but there is also the lack of enthusiasm for playing Intertoto Cup although no one will admit it publicly. It wouldn’t be the miracle if they slipped on the ninth place since Napoli are the more serious team with the longer bench. Top scorer in the league, Boriello, will leave Genoa and rossoblu are also considering their options for the summer. Money is no problem, couple of great players has emerged, but the best ones will still leave the club. Genoa will probably have the same objective for the next season too, getting in the middle of the table.

Lazio to play the next season with a different team

It is already evident that Behrami will leave the club, and, if the good offer comes, Goran Pandev will be also sold. Club’s financies are not so great and they will probably try to fill their budget during the summer. Fans have to be given hope, summer activities are to start and the first thing to do is to find a goalkeeper, because biancoceleste cannot allow themselves to enter the next season with the middle-aged Ballota, who is deep in his fifth decade, or with the inexperienced and the average Musler. One thing is certain, next year will be easier for them since they will not play in Europe… Lazio definitely worth more than their current 13th position…ticket for Europe will be their aim, regardless of the manager.

Betting verdict

This is more of a friendly match, none of them need points, goals are the best option since we see no reason for the managers to calculate. Gasperini will hold on to his 4 – 3 – 3 formation although his team didn’t score in the last two games, while the Romans will play to win in order to improve the impression in the finish. Over 2.5 is good bet and it could be found for 1.80 which is quite a fair bet. This is one of the better bets in Serie A this weekend.

Team news : Criscito, Di Vaio, Paro and Vanden Borre wont be in Genoa team.Lazio with another turnover but likes of Rocchi, Pandev and Mauri will play.
