Lecce Fights for Survival: Final Game Showdown
24 May
Summary
- Lecce needs a win on Sunday to avoid relegation from Serie A.
- Genoa is safe from relegation but seeks to improve their standing.
- A draw could lead to a relegation playoff depending on other results.
Lecce will play their final game of the 2025-26 Serie A season against Genoa on Sunday. The home team is fighting for survival, currently sitting in 17th place with 35 points, precariously one point above relegation.
A loss for Lecce, coupled with a win for 18th-placed Cremonese, would see the Salentini drop out of the top flight after four seasons. Serie A rules state that a relegation playoff over two legs will determine the fate of teams finishing level on points.
Genoa, in 15th with 41 points, is already safe from relegation. However, they have not won in their last four matches. A victory on Sunday would see them surpass last season's point total and potentially climb higher in the standings.
Historically, Genoa has a slight edge in head-to-head clashes, but Lecce has been strong at home against them recently. Lecce has shown improved form, winning two of their last three matches, while Genoa is on a four-game winless run.
