Lecce vs Genoa prediction: teams form analysis, possible lineups on May 24, 2026
In the 38th round of the Italian Serie A, Lecce and Genoa will face off on May 24, 2026. This is largely a formality for both sides.
Lecce vs Genoa: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from "Via del Mare" secured its Serie A status last season, taking the "safe" seventeenth spot with just 34 points. This season, results remain modest, but, crucially, there is once again a trio of clear outsiders. And, at the right time, they managed a win over Sassuolo in the previous round.
The team from Genoa replaced Gilardino with Vieira last season and ultimately finished thirteenth. In the current campaign, there was another coaching change, and under De Rossi, the team improved and once again surpassed the forty-goal mark. However, in the last round, they lost 1-2 to Milan.
The hosts' stats are weak: averaging 0.73 goals scored and as many as 1.35 conceded per game. Ellertsson and his teammates have more optimistic numbers, though their ratio is also negative: 1.11 goals scored and 1.35 conceded per match.
