Lecce vs Genoa Match Preview: Serie A Fixture Insights

The Serie A fixture between Lecce and Genoa is scheduled for 24 May 2026 at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce, with D. Doveri appointed as referee. This is a Regular Season - 38 clash, with Lecce sitting 17th on 35 points and a goal difference of -23, while Genoa are 15th with 41 points and a goal difference of -9.

Lecce Availability

Lecce have one confirmed absentee and one fitness concern. M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful. Both are part of the first-team squad, with Berisha wearing number 10 in midfield and Sottil offering attacking depth from the front line.

Genoa Availability

Genoa face a longer list of concerns. Junior Messias (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. Vitinha (Yellow Cards) is sidelined due to suspension and must be counted among the sidelined players. M. Cornet (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. B. Norton-Cuffy (Thigh Injury) is doubtful. L. Ostigard (Knock) is doubtful. Aarón Martín, a key creator with 5 assists in Serie A 2025, is currently available.

Impact Summary

Lecce lose creativity in midfield with Berisha out and may be forced to adjust wide attacking options if Sottil does not recover. Genoa’s attacking options are more heavily hit, with the suspended Vitinha and injured Junior Messias reducing their forward threat, while multiple doubtful players further complicate selection despite Aarón Martín’s continued availability as a major source of assists.
