The Serie A clash between Lecce and Genoa on January 5, 2025, presents an intriguing scenario for fans and analysts alike. Both teams are currently struggling in the league, with Lecce positioned at 17th place and Genoa slightly better at 13th. A key factor influencing the prediction for this match is the offensive performance of both teams; Lecce has scored only 11 goals in their last 18 games, while Genoa has managed a mere 16 .
