Lecce vs Genoa Predictions

A particularly tricky contest to call, Lecce are in better form, but Genoa have an excellent record in this fixture so I’m backing the visitors in the double-chance market.

Historically, this fixture has produced plenty of goals, so the over 2.5 goals line offers plenty of value at over-even money odds. Lecce’s Nikola Krstović has been in great form and is another excellent value option to score anytime.

Head to Head

Genoa have a dominant record in matches against Lecce over the past 15 years or so.

The visitors have won eight of their 11 previous matches against Lecce since 2007.

In their most recent Serie A contests in the 2019/20 campaign, Genoa claimed a 2-1 win on home soil after a 2-2 draw in Lecce earlier that season.

Lecce Form

Friday’s home side have been in excellent early-season form and remain unbeaten after five games played.

Roberto D’Aversa’s men have picked up impressive home wins against Lazio and Salernitana in addition to draws at Fiorentina and Monza.

Lecce Team News

D’Aversa has no injury issues for Friday’s matchup but will be forced into at least one change to their first XI.

Federico Baschirotto is suspended after his dismissal in last weekend’s draw at Monza.

Genoa Form

Newly-promoted Genoa picked up a valuable point in a surprise 2-2 draw against Napoli last weekend.

Alberto Gillardino’s side had led 2-0 before the champions fought back to claim a share of the spoils.

Since the return to the top flight, Genoa also scored an excellent 1-0 road win at Champions League participants Lazio.

Genoa Team News

Gillardino seems unlikely to make any changes to his side after an impressive display against Napoli.

Alessandro Vogliaccoand Junior Messias remain the only injury absentees for the Griffin.

Verdict

Lecce v Genoa

Historically, this fixture has been high-scoring so the over goals pick is a good option with some high-value odds.

Lecce is in better recent form, but Genoa has a strong track record in this matchup so I’m leaning towards the visitors in the double-chance market.

Emerging Montenegrin prospect Nikola Krstović scored in his last three Serie A starts and looks a good shout to make it four-in-a-row on Friday.
