An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 18th place.
It's no vacation for neither Lecce nor Genoa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Genoa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Lecce form and stats
Lecce's results here at Via del Mare in the Serie A have been very modest with 0 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Lecce fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Spezia game long ago, can be stopped today.
The points were shared in Lecce's previous game, also at home. Visiting Genoa (placed 18th) travelled back with a point after a 2-2 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Lecce lost 1-5 at SPAL's place.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Genoa last time out, but a goal from A. Tabanelli completed a comeback to a draw result for Lecce.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lecce have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 2 Lost 1.
Lecce has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Genoa form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Genoa, who have the most conceded goals (30) in Serie A, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-4 (win-draw-lose). One point away has become something of a habit for Genoa who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Genoa are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Lecce (placed 15th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Ascoli.
It looked so good for Genoa vs Lecce, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Genoa in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Genoa, 5 draws and 4 defeats.
Genoa have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Genoa's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 20 goals in 8 travels.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Lecce - Genoa 2-2 earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Lecce won 0, Genoa won 7 and 3 draws. 7 games with over 2,5 goals, 3 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
