DID YOU KNOW?

* Lazio have not lost to Genoa in their last six Serie A meetings.

* Edy Reja's men have slumped to three straight defeats.

* The capital club have won four out of their past five matches at the Olimpico.

* Lazio have conceded only 13 goals at home this season.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS

Lazio (4-2-3-1)
Muslera; Lichtsteiner, Biava, Stendardo, Scaloni; Ledesma, Matuzalem; Mauri, Hernanes, Sculli; Zarate

Edy Reja will be without the services of influential first team players Andre Dias, Cristian Brocchi and Libor Kozak, who are all suspended. Mobido Diakite is still nursing an injury and will also miss Saturday's encounter.

Genoa (4-4-2)
Eduardo; Rafinha, Dainelli, Moretti, Criscito; Rossi, Kucka, Milanetto, Konko; Floro Flores, Palacio

Abdoulay Konko will likely step in for the suspended Mesto in midfield, while back-up goalkeeper Alessio Scarpi will miss out through injury.

Prediction
It's three points or bust for Lazio as they head into the final straight in the race for the last Champions League spot. The home side have a good track record against Genoa and should do enough to pick up the win.
