Lecce vs Genoa: team news and expert analysis
The team from Via del Mare picked up three fewer points than their current opponents in 2025/2026 but, most importantly, preserved their top-flight status by finishing seventeenth. After crashing out of the cup at the hands of Palermo, they have also often struggled in the league, although occasional victories have helped them maintain some distance from the relegation zone. However, they suffered emphatic defeats to both Juventus and Frosinone in their most recent matches.
The Genoa club finished fifteenth in the final table last season with 41 points after changing their head coach. They have once again made a difficult start, suffering a large number of defeats, and have only avoided problems in the cup so far. However, their latest fixtures have produced impressive results: they beat not only Venezia but, sensationally, Juventus as well.
Fatah and company score 1.11 goals per game while conceding almost twice as many — 2.11. De Rossi's charges find the net just 0.89 times per match, while conceding as many as 1.44 goals.
