Match Preview & Analysis
Lecce to Capitalise on Genoa's Attacking Shortages at Via del Mare
Lecce host Genoa at the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare this Sunday, with fans eager to watch Lecce vs Genoa live stream after a run of tight encounters between these sides. The home team arrives with a slightly more encouraging attacking outlook after their recent Serie A outings, while Genoa continues to grapple with a severe goal drought, further compounded by a growing injury list. This fixture often delivers compact football, with both teams typically locking horns in attritional battles rather than free-flowing goal fests.

Current Form
Lecce's recent form reflects an ability to find the back of the net, registering a dramatic 3-2 victory over Sassuolo and a 2-1 win against Pisa in their last five Serie A outings. This attacking impetus, often driven by W. Cheddira or L. Banda, ensures they carry a threat. However, their inconsistency also surfaces in a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Juventus and draws against Fiorentina (1-1) and Hellas Verona (0-0), suggesting that while goals come, defensive solidity isn't always absolute.
Genoa's recent run paints a bleaker picture in the final third. They have scored only three goals in their last five Serie A matches, with two of those coming in a 2-1 victory over Pisa. More tellingly, they've been held to goalless draws by both Fiorentina and Atalanta, alongside a 0-2 defeat to Como and a 1-2 loss against AC Milan. This sequence highlights a team that can deploy a robust defensive shape, yet profoundly struggles to translate defensive resilience into attacking output.
Team News
Lecce will be without midfielder M. Berisha due to a thigh injury, which could impact their ability to control the tempo in the engine room. R. Sottil's absence with a back injury also deprives them of an attacking option on the flanks. Despite these setbacks, the core of their squad remains intact, suggesting they can maintain their recent tactical approaches
