📋 Team News: Lecce

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Lecce gaffer Roberto D'Aversa to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group of players. Lameck Banda (Hamstring Injury) misses out. Federico Baschirotto is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It looks as if Giallorossi look set to opt for a 4-3-3 formation for this one featuring Wladimiro Falcone, Valentin Gendrey, Marin Pongracic, Ahmed Touba, Antonino Gallo, Mohamed Kaba, Ylber Ramadani, Hamza Rafia, Pontus Almqvist, Nikola Krstovic and Gabriel Strefezza.

📋 Team News: Genoa

Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there is only a single fitness problem for the Genoa gaffer Alberto Gilardino to be concerned about. Alessandro Vogliacco (Thigh Problems) won’t be in action.

We believe Il Grifone will likely begin the game with a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to Josep Martinez, Koni De Winter, Mattia Bani, Radu Dragusin, Johan Vasquez, Stefano Sabelli, Kevin Strootman, Milan Badelj, Morten Frendrup, Albert Gudmundsson and Mateo Retegui.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Genoa should be able to breach the defence of this Lecce outfit, although it probably won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 victory for Lecce when all is said and done. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
