Match between S.S. Lazio and Genoa CFC - Preview

This early-season fixture at the Stadio Olimpico pits a Lazio side buoyed by a winning start against a Genoa team desperate to bounce back after a painful opening-day defeat - making it one of the more intriguing second-matchday contests in Serie A.

Lazio head into the game with confidence following Davide Frattesi's 59th-minute winner at Bologna on 24 August - the perfect antidote to a 2025/26 campaign that produced only a 9th-place Serie A finish (14 wins, 12 draws, 12 defeats, 54 points) and a Coppa Italia final defeat against Inter Milan. The Biancocelesti missed European football entirely, and the ambition this season is clearly to do better. At home against Genoa, the historical record is firmly in their favour: Lazio won seven of their last nine home fixtures against the Grifone, a statistic that underlines their superiority in this match-up.

Genoa arrive at the Olimpico in a difficult mood. The club finished 16th in 2025/26 with just 41 points (10 wins, 11 draws, 17 defeats), surviving relegation without much comfort. Their 2026/27 campaign began poorly when Kevin De Bruyne helped Napoli to a 2-0 victory at Stadio Ferraris on 22 August. A positive result here would be a significant statement; failing to take anything from Rome would leave them rooted to the foot of the table with more questions than answers.

Head-to-Head: S.S. Lazio vs Genoa CFC

The head-to-head record tells a clear story of Lazio dominance - 20 wins for the Romans against 13 for Genoa in roughly 38 meetings, with Lazio going six consecutive matches unbeaten against the Grifone in recent years, scoring 13 goals and conceding only two in that run.

Here are the six most recent meetings between the clubs:

• 30 Jan 2026 - Serie A - S.S. Lazio 3 : 2 Genoa CFC
• 29 Sep 2025 - Serie A - Genoa CFC 0 : 3 S.S. Lazio
• 23 Apr 2025 - Serie A - Genoa CFC 0 : 2 S.S. Lazio
• 27 Oct 2024 - Serie A - S.S. Lazio 3 : 0 Genoa CFC
• 19 Apr 2024 - Serie A - Genoa CFC 0 : 1 S.S. Lazio
• 05 Dec 2023 - Coppa Italia - S.S. Lazio 1 : 0 Genoa CFC

S.S. Lazio - Recent Form

Lazio enter Matchday 2 in the best possible shape, having opened the 2026/27 Serie A season with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Bologna - a result that set a positive tone for a campaign the club is determined to make count.

The 2025/26 season was a frustrating year for the Biancocelesti. A W14 D12 L12 league record was enough only for 9th place and 54 points - no European football, and a Coppa Italia final lost to Inter Milan. The squad lacked the consistency needed to challenge the top six. Yet the trip to Bologna, settled by Frattesi's well-taken 59th-minute finish, showed a team with renewed hunger. Against Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico specifically, Lazio's record is particularly strong: seven wins from their last nine home fixtures against this opponent.

Genoa CFC - Recent Form

Genoa face this trip to Rome with a single competitive result in 2026/27 - a 0-2 home defeat against Napoli on 22 August that offered no encouragement ahead of a daunting away assignment.

The Ligurian club closed out 2025/26 in 16th place with 41 points (10 wins, 11 draws, 17 defeats), surviving by a margin that brought precious little comfort. A late-season run helped them to pull clear of the bottom three, but that form was not carried into the new campaign. Now facing Lazio - who have beaten Genoa in all six of their most recent encounters - the visitors need a determined defensive display and clinical finishing to have any hope of ending their away drought against the Romans.
