Lecce vs Genoa Prediction & Betting tips
In August 2018, Genoa beat Lecce 4-0 thanks to four goals from Krzysztof Piatek. Since the Pole has left for AC Milan for a large sum, it has been going downhill at Genoa, at the moment they are eighteenth. Competitor Lecce can take a big step this weekend, with a win it increases the lead on Genoa to seven points.
Lecce:
Lecce won two of the first five competition matches. Since then, the team was over two months without a win until last weekend. Out at Fiorentina, the Fabio Liverani team won against all odds. Virtually all the chances in the first half were for Fio, thanks to some fortune and goalkeeper Gabriel, Lecce was on his feet. Shortly after the break the away team was immediately effective from the first good chance. Skakhov gave a measured pass that La Mantia worked with a diving header into the net. It was almost the only achievement of I Lupi that, just like in the first half, was lucky that Fiorentina’s focus was not on it.
It took a long time before the Giallorossi finally picked up the three points again, yet they are not in a bad position. The team is four points above the relegation line because it tied five of the six previous games. AC Milan, Juventus and Cagliari, among others, could not beat them.
Genoa:
Genoa has only collected ten points in fourteen games and is therefore in the relegation zone. The defense is a problem child in particular, 28 goals have already been collected, which is the most of the entire Serie A. Aurelio Andreazzoli got only five points out of eight games and was fired, his replacement Thiago Motta started well with a victory over Brescia but has since won only two points from five games. The team managed to limit the number of goals in the last three games under the leadership of the ex-international. In Naples it played 0-0 and at SPAL it became 1-1. Last weekend there appeared to be another clean sheet against Torino but the Grifone lost in the last fifteen minutes.
Last Tuesday, Genoa ran into the number six in the Series B for the Coppa Italia in-house. Motta started with seven players, who are also expected to play in the starting line-up this weekend, and also dropped two when Genoa faced a 1-2 deficit after seventy minutes of play. With an almost complete A-core, the Rossoblu managed to win the win and to convert.
