Lecce vs Genoa Match Preview: Serie A 2026-05-24

Match Context

Lecce host Genoa at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-24, with kick-off at 18:45 UTC. This is a Serie A Regular Season - 38 fixture, with Lecce currently 17th on 35 points and Genoa 15th on 41 points.

Lecce Availability

Lecce have one confirmed absentee and one fitness concern. M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful. No suspensions are reported for Lecce, so the rest of the senior squad is expected to be available as they seek crucial points to stay clear of the bottom three. With no top scorers data provided, there is no indication that a leading attacking contributor is missing.

Genoa Availability

Genoa face a longer list of issues. Junior Messias (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. Vitinha (Yellow Cards) is sidelined due to suspension. M. Cornet (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. B. Norton-Cuffy (Thigh Injury) is doubtful. L. Ostigard (Knock) is doubtful.

Impact Summary

Lecce lose creativity in midfield with Berisha sidelined but otherwise retain their attacking options. Genoa’s attacking output is more heavily affected: the absence of Junior Messias and suspended Vitinha, combined with doubts over Cornet, removes multiple forward and midfield threats. From the available stats, Genoa still rely on Aarón Martín, whose 5 assists underline his importance in supplying chances despite the offensive absentees.
