Lecce have endured a difficult spell, suffering four defeats in their last five league matches, including a humiliating 5-1 loss to Frosinone in midweek.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have struggled to build consistency, with each of their three league victories this season followed by consecutive defeats.
They will be hoping that pattern works in their favour again as they attempt to get their campaign back on track.
Securing maximum points will require an improvement in their home performances, with Lecce managing just one victory on their own turf this season while losing their other three league fixtures.
Genoa, meanwhile, travel south with renewed confidence after collecting three victories from their last four league outings, suffering just one defeat during that period.
Their latest success was particularly impressive, as they defeated Juventus 2-0 on Wednesday to move one point above their upcoming opponents.
However, their performances away from home remain a major concern, as all their league points this season have come at home, while they have managed just one goal on their travels.
Genoa have also failed to find the net in five of their last six away league matches, drawing twice and losing four times.
Even more concerning is their current run of four consecutive away defeats, which began with a loss against Lecce in the corresponding fixture last season.

Whispers predicts: Lecce 1-1 Genoa
Lecce enter this match with a slight home advantage, but their form has been questionable this season, but we predict a 1-1 win for the hosts.
The home team hold a small edge in this game based on their familiar surroundings, but their attacking frailties remain a major concern.
However, they can take confidence in their previous head-to-head meetings at the Stadio Via del Mare, winning four of their last six Serie A meetings.
Ahead of this clash, the bookmakers have given Lecce 23/10 (3.30) to win at the Stadio Via del Mare.
A draw is valued at 2/1 (3.00), while an away victory for Genoa is offered at 11/8 (2.38), to win away from home.
The market for under 2.5 goals is priced at 4/7 (1.57), and both teams to score (no) is available at 4/5 (1.80), while the home team double chance is given at 8/15 (1.53).
