Lecce come into this with a steadier recent league return, taking three wins from their last five and scoring in four of those matches. Genoa’s numbers are more mixed, with just one win in five and three games without a goal, so the balance of recent evidence points towards a tighter home performance. With Lecce at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare and Genoa missing Vitinha through suspension, the home side look better placed to control the key moments.
The head-to-head record also leans towards a low-scoring contest, with three of the last five meetings finishing level and none of the five producing more than three goals. Lecce have already shown they can edge games by narrow margins, while Genoa have recently been involved in several goalless draws and narrow defeats. Match Prediction: Lecce 2-0 Genoa
Form Guide & Team Overview
Lecce
Lecce’s recent league form is encouraging, with wins over Sassuolo and Pisa coming alongside a draw at Hellas Verona and a draw against Fiorentina. Their only defeat in that five-game run was a 0-1 home loss to Juventus, which suggests they have been competitive even when not winning.
They have also been scoring regularly enough to stay in games, finding the net in four of their last five league matches. That run gives them a more reliable attacking base than their opponents here, especially with a home fixture to finish the campaign.

Genoa
Genoa’s recent league form has been less convincing, with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five. They have failed to score in three of those matches, including back-to-back 0-0 draws away to Fiorentina and Atalanta.
Their most recent home game ended in a 1-2 defeat to AC Milan, which followed a 0-2 loss to Como. That pattern points to a side that has been harder to trust for goals and results in the closing stretch.

Team News & Injury Report
Lecce

Genoa
- Vitinha (Yellow Card Suspension)
Lineups & Tactical Setup
Lecce (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Wladimiro Falcone (Goalkeeper), Antonino Gallo (Defender), Danilo Veiga (Defender), Jamil Siebert (Defender), Tiago Gabriel (Defender), Lameck Banda (Midfielder), Lassana Coulibaly (Midfielder), Oumar Ngom (Midfielder), Santiago Pierotti (Midfielder), Ylber Ramadani (Midfielder), Walid Cheddira (Attacker)
Lecce’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a solid base in midfield, with two deeper players helping to protect the back four and keep the shape compact. The three behind the striker should allow Walid Cheddira to stay high and give Lecce a direct outlet when they win the ball.
Genoa (4-3-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Justin Bijlow (Goalkeeper), Alessandro Marcandalli (Defender), Johan Vásquez (Defender), Mikael Egill Ellertsson (Defender), Sebastian Otoa (Defender), Alexsandro Amorim de Freitas Filho (Midfielder), Morten Frendrup (Midfielder), Ruslan Malinovskyi (Midfielder), Tommaso Baldanzi (Midfielder), TBC (Midfielder), Lorenzo Colombo (Attacker)
Genoa’s predicted 4-3-2-1 should keep them narrow between the lines, with the midfield three expected to support both the press and the build-up. That shape also leaves Lorenzo Colombo as the main reference point up front, so their attacking threat may depend on how well the players behind him can supply him.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Lecce | Genoa | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Lecce | Genoa | Walid Cheddira against Alessandro Marcandalli could be decisive if Lecce look to attack the space in behind Genoa’s back line. |
| Lecce | Genoa | Lameck Banda versus Alexsandro Amorim de Freitas Filho may matter in midfield-to-wide transitions, where Lecce can try to create openings. |
| Lecce | Genoa | Walid Cheddira is key for Lecce because he is the main attacking reference in their predicted shape and the player most likely to finish their chances. |
| Lecce | Genoa | Lorenzo Colombo is key for Genoa because he is the lone forward in the predicted line-up and Genoa’s clearest route to goal. |
