Genoa vs Lecce Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The previous confrontation between the two teams ended in a goalless draw.
Genoa are all set to take on Lecce in match week 29 of the Serie A 2024-25 fixture at home. The hosts have won seven games in 28 league matches and are in the 12th place on the points table. On the other hand, the visitors have won six games in the same number of matches and are on the 16th spot.
Genoa had a poor attack rate and were also not able to control the ball very well in their last meeting against Lecce in the Serie A. Although their decent defensive play helped them not concede any goals. They might be heavy on defence this time as well.
During their last match against their upcoming opponents, Lecce had a good attacking rate but failed to convert it into any goals. They will be bent on securing three points over Genoa this time around as they are just a couple of points above the relegation zone. A win here can help them jump up a couple of spots on the league table.
