Key Prediction Insights

Lecce are narrowly favoured at home, with a 42.0% chance of victory against Genoa’s 31.0%, and a predicted home win in what looks like a tight, low-scoring contest. The model leans towards under 2.5 goals (48.0% probability) and expects both teams to score at least once (52.0% “goal” probability). In the table, Genoa sit 14th on 41 points, with Lecce just behind them in 17th on 35 points and still right on the edge of the relegation fight.

Match Analysis

Lecce arrive from an emotional swing of results: away wins at Pisa (2-1) and Sassuolo (3-2) have been punctuated by a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Juventus. Those last three matches have been more open than their season norms, but the broader trend remains modest attacking output – just 0.6 goals scored on average across the last five games and only 0.936 expected goals created per match in that span. Defensively they are still fragile, conceding 1.6 goals and 1.894 xG on average in their last five, with just one clean sheet. Genoa, by contrast, have tightened up. They’re unbeaten in their last two, with goalless draws away to Fiorentina and Atalanta, before a narrow 2-1 home defeat to Milan. The numbers back up a compact, organised side: 0.8 goals scored and only 0.6 conceded on average in their last five, with 1.036 xG for and 1.264 xG against – and two clean sheets in that run. Lecce’s urgency, fuelled by their 17th-place position and relegation risk, will clash with Genoa’s more controlled game.

Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction

The over/under 2.5 prediction leans towards under 2.5 goals, at 48.0% probability. Two of Lecce’s last three have gone over 2.5 goals (3-2 vs Sassuolo, 2-1 vs Pisa), but their five‑game averages of 0.6 scored and 1.6 conceded, underpinned by sub‑1.0 xG for per match, suggest they rarely sustain high‑scoring patterns. Genoa’s last three outings produced totals of 3, 0 and 0 goals, so 2 of 3 were under; their balanced xG profile and defensive solidity reinforce the under 2.5 call despite the slight tilt towards both teams scoring.

Corners Prediction

Corners Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each corner count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of corners ≤ X
The corners prediction points to around 9.6 total corners, in line with the model’s expected total. Lecce’s recent games have produced 10, 8 and 7 corners respectively, while Genoa’s have seen 8, 7 and 8 – all roughly in that 7–10 range. With neither side an all‑out attacking machine but both capable of spells of pressure, the predicted corners figure fits two fairly cautious teams that still use the flanks enough to rack up set‑pieces.

Shots Prediction

Shots Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each shot count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of shots ≤ X
The shots prediction sits at 23.21 expected shots in total, reflecting a match with chances but not a shooting gallery. Lecce’s last three matches have seen them take 11, 8 and 7 shots while facing 15, 15 and 17, whereas Genoa have attempted 11, 9 and 7 and conceded 8, 13 and 21. Those volumes, tied to xG figures just over 1.0 for both sides recently, support an expected shots tally in the low‑20s rather than a barrage.

Goal Spread Prediction

Distribution
Probability of each goal difference outcome
Goal spread probability distribution for Lecce vs Genoa with expected spread of +0.1
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of goal difference ≤ X
Cumulative goal spread probability chart for Lecce vs Genoa
The goal spread prediction gives Lecce a wafer‑thin edge, with an expected spread of +0.07 in favour of the home side. Across their last three matches, Lecce’s goal difference is +1 (5 scored, 4 conceded), while Genoa’s is -1 (1 scored, 2 conceded), reinforcing the idea of a marginal home advantage. That tiny expected spread matches the win probabilities and the contrast between Lecce’s greater need and Genoa’s slightly stronger defensive base.

Final Prediction

Lecce’s edge stems mainly from home advantage and the urgency of their position just above the drop, combined with Genoa’s recent difficulty turning solidity into wins. The key factor to watch will be whether Lecce can break down Genoa’s disciplined defence early; if not, the visitors’ organisation could drag the game towards the low‑scoring stalemate the numbers hint at.
