Lecce last match

Lecce in its last official match lost (2-0) against Como, in a match valid for Serie A. Coach M. Giampaolo's lined up a 4-3-3 formation.

This defeat was something that was already predicted before the game. The odds for them to win, of 5.50 indicated as much.

If the entire defensive department of the team had considerable difficulties, the one who suffered the most is certainly Federico Baschirotto. The player made a lot of mistakes throughout the match, and he will have to work hard over the course of the season if he wants to help his team win and climb the standings.

Genoa last match

On the other hand, the visiting team arrives at this match after a victory in the last round. In a dispute valid for Serie A, Genoa, who used a 4-2-3-1 formation, faced the Empoli team with a final score of 1-2.

The forecast was that the match between the two teams would be quite close, hence the home win had odds of 3.20.

However, Lecce enters this game with 16 points and ranking in 17th place in the Serie A, the team has a negative balance of 10 lost games, won 4, and drawing in 4.

In the 19th round, the team holds an advantage of 2 points over the Cagliari team, which is in position 18 just below, and with 2 points less than that of the Hellas Verona team that occupies the 16th place.

Lecce analysis

At the end of matchday 18 we see that Lecce conceded more goals than they scored, with 31 goals conceded and 11 scored.

Lecce has been struggling to find their form lately, with just 1 win in their last 5 matches. They need to work on their defensive solidity and finishing if they want to turn their fortunes around and start climbing up the league table.

The performances of Lecce in recent matches suggest that they are having difficulty scoring goals, with a low number of goals and a high number of matches where they failed to score. This indicates that their attacking play is not creating enough quality chances and needs improvement.

Lecce has a relatively low average of shots towards the goal, with only 3.5 attempts per game, and this is an indication that the team has a poor attack, and therefore scores few goals.

With an average ball possession of 42.06% per game in the current league, Lecce cannot call itself a team that holds the game in its hands, rather it prefers the counterattacking strategy. But if they want to try to win the game against Genoa they must try to impose their game to create difficulties for their opponents.

Best goalscorer from Lecce

There are always individualities that stand out in a squad and in the team's attack, Nikola Krstović has held that position so far in the competition. Serving Lecce with 4 goals this season, the Attacker has been a key player in winning triumphs.

It should also be noted that 1 of the goals scored by the player were from the penalty spot.

Genoa

Genoa analysis

Genoa, after 18 rounds, has conceded more goals than it has scored. The goals scored are in fact 16 while 27 are those conceded to opponents.

The odds are certainly not in favor of the team, which in addition to playing in a difficult away match will have to deal with the difficulties shown in the offensive phase. At the moment, in fact, it has no more than 0.89 goals scored on average per match.

Best goalscorer from Genoa

If we want to highlight a player in the team's offensive sector until this competition stage, we have to name Andrea Pinamonti. Genoa owes some of their triumphs to the Attacker who scored 6 goals in this season.
