Genoa changed their manager for the Spezia game, with good success! The actual changes and tactics he is going to apply are still a secret to us all, but the mental effect on the win - their 2nd so far - is simply massive.

As there is a new manager we can almost forget the previous results and xG so far, but not completely! Last 7 games below.

In the actual table Genoa are 18th with 10 points. The xPts suggest they might have 14, but their defensive numbers have let them down and they shipped in more goals they they were expected. Defense is naturally always the priority when a new coach steps in. Away at Spezia they showed a lot of backbone after going one goal down early on, and they were the better team at both boxes throughout the game, and it was also good news that the talented but recently under-performing Mattia Destro scored.

There are still the same injury issues they had v Spezia as Biraschi, Sturaro and Pellegrni are out, but they can be overcome and they will field a decent lineup tonight.

Who is Ballardini then? Shortly, for the past 15 years he has been in charge mostly of the bottom half clubs, often with the only goal being survival, and he has been in Genoa also from 2017 to 2018. He often jumps in at half-way of the season, and getting fired is also part of the job. He prefers a 3-5-2, so the formations will be the same tonight, at least on paper.

Lazio! There were rollercoaster matches from horrible to excellent, and basically you never know what you get. The break came just on time for the tired team, and all too often they had to rely on the brilliance of Ciro Immobile upfront. There are however a few big holes in the starting lineup as striker Correa and midfielders Parolo, Lulic and Fares are out. Lazio are 8th in the table with 21 points, but with some worse luck they might only have 15-16 points. Or without the skill of Immobile...

Last 7 Lazio results and xG

As you see, there is good and bad and hard to see a trend.

Lazio are favourites, but over 50% away vs a club on the rise? Never! 1-1?

热那亚更换了他们的教练与斯佩齐亚的比赛，取得了很好的成功!他将要采取的实际改变和战术对我们所有人来说仍然是一个秘密，但是对他们的第二场胜利的心理影响是巨大的。

因为新经理来了，我们几乎可以忘记之前的结果和xG到目前为止，但不是完全忘记!过去的7场比赛。

在实际的积分榜上，热那亚以10分排名第18位。xPts显示他们可能有14个，但他们的防守数字让他们失望了，他们的进球比预期的要多。当新教练介入时，防守自然总是优先考虑的。在对斯佩齐亚的客场比赛中，他们在一球落后的情况下表现出了坚强的意志，在整场比赛中，他们在两个禁区都表现得更好。还有一个好消息是，才华横溢但最近表现不佳的马蒂亚·德斯特罗进球了。

在对斯佩齐亚的比赛中，由于比拉斯基、斯图拉罗和佩莱格里尼的缺阵，他们仍然面临着同样的伤病问题，但他们可以被克服，今晚他们将派出一个像样的阵容。

那么巴拉迪尼是谁呢?简而言之，在过去的15年里，他主要负责的是下半区俱乐部，通常唯一的目标就是生存，他也从2017年到2018年在热那亚踢球。他经常在工作季进行到一半的时候突然加入，而被解雇也是他工作的一部分。他更喜欢3-5-2阵型，所以今晚的阵型是一样的，至少理论上是一样的。

拉齐奥!游戏中有从糟糕到出色的过山车式比赛，基本上你永远不知道你会得到什么。对于疲惫不堪的团队来说，这个突破来得正是时候，他们常常不得不依赖于Ciro Immobile的才华。然而，首发阵容中还有一些大漏洞，比如前锋科雷亚和中场帕罗洛、吕利克和法雷斯都缺席了。拉齐奥以21分排在积分榜第八位，但运气不好的话，他们可能只有15-16分。或者没有固定的技能…

拉齐奥最近7场比赛的成绩

如你所见，有好有坏，很难看出趋势。

拉齐奥是最受欢迎的球队，但是超过50%的客场对阵一支正在崛起的球队?从来没有!1 - 1 ?

将下面的阵容。
