Lecce vs Genoa: TV channel and live stream details for Serie A clash
Genoa travel to Lecce on the back of a 2-0 home win over Juventus on Wednesday, a result that has strengthened Daniele De Rossi’s side ahead of a tight Serie A contest at the Via del Mare.
Key takeaways
- Genoa sit 13th, one point ahead of 14th-placed Lecce.
- Lecce have lost four of their previous five league fixtures and were beaten 5-1 by Frosinone last time out.
- Kialonda Gaspar is suspended for the hosts, who also have four injury absences.
- Genoa have won three of their last four Serie A matches.
- Lecce won 1-0 when the clubs last met at this stadium on 24 May 2026.
Lecce face defensive selection problem
Eusebio Di Francesco’s team need a response after their damaging loss to Frosinone, which came after a 2-0 defeat to Juventus. Their only victory across the last five Serie A games was a 3-0 success against Udinese, leaving Lecce without a win in three matches.
That five-game league spell has brought one win and four losses, with nine goals scored and 11 conceded. Defensive planning is further affected by Gaspar’s ban.
Lassana Coulibaly, Willem Geubbels, Santiago Pierotti and Medon Berisha are unavailable through injury. Lecce are expected to line up with Wladimiro Falcone in goal; Tiago Gabriel, Siebert, Ndaba and Monteiro in defence; Gandelman, Maleh and Ngom in midfield; and Gallo, Veiga and Esteban further forward.
Genoa carry momentum into away test
De Rossi’s squad have found greater stability in recent weeks. Their victory against Juventus followed a 1-0 win over Venezia, while Genoa have taken three victories, suffered two defeats and drawn none across their last five matches in all competitions. They have scored six times and allowed four goals in that sequence.
The defeats in that run came against Roma in Serie A and Rapid Bucarest in a friendly. Genoa’s expected team is Bijlow; Vasquez, Oestigard and Marcandalli; Ellertsson, Ehizibue, Baldanzi, Amorim and Frendrup; with Vitinha and Osmajic leading the attack.
Joi Xheto Nuredini, Elias Havel, Cody Drameh and Lorenzo Venturino are all sidelined for the visitors. Final squad and team information is expected nearer kick-off.
The recent head-to-head record is finely balanced: Genoa have won two of the last five meetings, Lecce have won one and two have finished level. Each side has claimed one victory in the last two games played in Lecce.
