Recap
Lecce enter the decisive final round with their destiny still entirely in their own hands, knowing that a victory would be enough to mathematically secure survival in Serie A. With everything on the line, motivation and intensity should be at the highest possible level for the home side.
Genoa arrive in a far more relaxed situation, with little left to fight for competitively. Their recent form has also been unconvincing, as they are winless in the last four league matches (0-2-2), while several important absences:
❌ Vitinha (35/5)
❌ Malinovskyi (34/6)
❌ Ekuban (31/4)
❌ Østigård (30/5)
❌ Ekhator (30/3)
❌ Messias (20/3)
The circumstances appear highly favorable for the hosts in what is effectively a survival final.
