This midweek Serie A fixture is a game between two teams separated by just a single point. Lecce have 9 points from 9 matches, while Genoa have 10 points from the same number of games. Neither is secure in the table, so this is a match where the points matter to both sides. Lecce lost 1-5 in their last match and have lost 4 of their last 5, though their attack still showed something in a 3-0 win. Genoa, meanwhile, have won their last two matches without conceding a goal, so their defence looks steadier of late, but their season total is just 8 goals from 9 matches. The pattern of the game is likely to be a midfield exchange rather than one side pressing heavily, because neither team dominates possession or creates chances frequently. But the first and second halves may look different: Lecce at home tend to open up and have goals in the first half in almost every match, while Genoa tend to wait for late chances.
