Lecce vs Genoa Match Preview: Serie A Final Round

Match Context

Lecce host Genoa at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-24 (18:45 UTC) in Serie A, Regular Season - 38. Lecce come into the final round placed 17th on 35 points with a goal difference of -23, while Genoa sit 15th on 41 points with 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 names appear repeatedly in the official lists, underlining the persistence of their issues. With no top scorers data available, there is no indication that Lecce lose a leading attacking contributor here, but Berisha’s absence still trims midfield options and creativity.

Genoa Availability

Genoa face a heavier list of concerns.

  • Junior Messias (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
  • Vitinha (Yellow Cards) is sidelined due to suspension and must be treated as out.
  • M. Cornet (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
  • B. Norton-Cuffy (Thigh Injury) is doubtful.
  • L. Ostigard (Knock) is doubtful.

The repeated entries for these players confirm their ongoing unavailability or uncertainty.

Impact Summary

Without full top scorers data, the clearest attacking loss is Genoa’s creative depth: Junior Messias and Vitinha both reduce forward thrust and midfield link play. Lecce’s main hit is in midfield rotation through Berisha, while Genoa’s multiple doubts across attack and defense could force a reshuffle and slightly blunt their overall attacking output.
