Lecce vs Genoa Match Preview: Serie A Showdown on May 24, 2026
Lecce host Genoa at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-24 (18:45 UTC) in Serie A, Regular Season - 38. Lecce arrive sitting 17th on 35 points with a goal difference of -23, while Genoa are 15th on 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 listed among Lecce’s midfield and attacking options, so their status directly affects the hosts’ creativity and depth between the lines.
Genoa Availability
Genoa face a longer list of issues.
- Junior Messias (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
- Vitinha (Yellow Cards) is sidelined due to suspension and must be considered a disciplinary loss as well as an attacking one from midfield.
- M. Cornet (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
- B. Norton-Cuffy (Thigh Injury) is doubtful.
- L. Ostigard (Knock) is doubtful.
The doubts over Cornet and Norton-Cuffy hit both Genoa’s forward line and defensive flanks.
Impact Summary
With no top scorers data available, the clearest statistical reference is Genoa defender Aarón Martín, who has 5 assists in league play and is currently available. Lecce’s single confirmed absentee versus Genoa’s two sidelined and three doubtful players suggests the visitors risk losing more attacking and structural balance if late fitness tests do not go their way.
