With no top scorers data available from the league statistics, there is no indication that Lecce’s leading goal threats are ruled out, suggesting their primary attacking options should be available for this match.

Impact Summary

Genoa’s attacking structure is more heavily affected, with Junior Messias and the suspended Vitinha both sidelined, reducing their creative and finishing depth. Lecce lose M. Berisha in midfield but otherwise appear closer to full strength, which could be significant in a tight relegation-tinged contest where every attacking contribution matters.
