Genoa's equivalent sample is rougher: 6 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses, with just 19 goals for against 34 against. It's worth remembering this stretch covers last season, pre-season friendlies and the current campaign, so it's a broad look rather than a tight current-form read.

Genoa's goal difference across this sample is notably worse than Lecce's, suggesting their defensive issues have been the more persistent problem.

Comparative Team Statistics: Lecce vs Genoa

Head-to-head: a fairly even history

These two have met plenty of times down the years, and the head-to-head record doesn't lean heavily either way. There are home wins, away wins and draws scattered across more than a decade of fixtures.

The most recent meeting, back in May 2026, finished 1-0 to Lecce on their own patch. Before that, a goalless draw at Genoa and a narrow Genoa win the time before that. Nothing here points to one side having the psychological edge.

Where they sit this season

Lecce are 12th with 6 points from 5 games, built on 2 wins and 3 losses. It's a middling start, not disastrous but not convincing either.

Genoa are down in 19th with just 1 point from 5 games, a single draw against four defeats. Both have let in 10 goals in that time, but Genoa have scored only 3 compared to Lecce's 5.

Genoa's current league position is considerably worse than Lecce's, even allowing for the early stage of the season.

Key men and discipline

Lecce's Coulibaly has been their most productive attacker lately, with 2 goals in 5 matches, while Ilić has chipped in with 2 assists in 4 games. On the other side, Genoa's Colombo leads their assist charts with 2 in 5 outings, though their forward output overall has been thin.

Lecce:

Best scorers:

L. Coulibaly - 2

Best assist providers:

I. Ilić - 2

Penalty cards:

Danilo Veiga x 3

Genoa:

Best assist providers:

L. Colombo - 2

Penalty cards:

J. Vásquez x 1 x 1

L. Østigård x 3

Discipline could be a factor too. Genoa's Østigård and Lecce's Danilo Veiga have each picked up 3 yellow cards in 5 matches, so both will need to be careful about picking up another.
