Genoa - Lecce predictions

Genoa might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Lecce are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

It would be a minor miracle for Lecce to win at Genoa, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.19 price on most online sportsbooks.

Genoa’s latest outing at Salernitana ended in a narrow 1:2 win. The first half performance was rather mediocre, but they pulled through in the end.

Not even the most optimistic of Serie A predictions expected Lecce to record anything except a loss, and it seems they were right. A catastrophic second half brought the score to 0:3 before the end, resulting in a harsh defeat at home.

Not a lot of excitement at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris these past few games. All 4 of them ended in a stalemate for Genoa.

Lecce have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

The first half of the season was far from ideal for Lecce, with them ending up as number 14th in the standings. On one hand, they still have time to work towards a satisfying end to the campaign. On the other, Genoa present a major obstacle and wrestling away any points this Sunday will be a challenge.

Genoa have a narrow defeat on record from earlier in the season. With home-field advantage, however, they’re expected to win this showdown – at least as far as the bookies are concerned.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Aarón Martín, Stefano Sabelli, Junior Messias, Ridgeciano Haps, Emil Bohinen will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.53. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
