Full analysis

Lecce sit 14th on 9 points with a -9 goal difference and have lost four of their last five, including 1-5 at Frosinone and 0-2 at home to Juventus. They average 1.0 goals per home game this season and 0.78 at home over the last 12 months, failing to score in half of those games. Only the 3-2 against Monza has brought them two or more goals at home in the league this term.

The squad is thin in midfield and attack, with Coulibaly, Berisha, Ilic and Pierotti listed as out, Geubbels a doubt and defender Gaspar suspended. Genoa, 13th on 10 points, have conceded 1.2 per game across their last five away matches and 1.28 per away game over 12 months. The market rates Genoa slightly ahead of Lecce, which fits a cautious, low-scoring contest for the hosts.

Confidence is Medium rather than High because line-ups are not yet confirmed and Genoa's away defence is merely average, not tight. Lecce have also shown they can score three in a game, as they did at Udinese. It is not Low because the season scoring rate, the 12-month record and the absences all point the same way.
