Insights:
  • Lecce have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (0) in Serie A

These teams have little in common geographically as Genoa have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Lecce form and stats

As mentioned below, Lecce are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Serie A games.
