With many of Europe's big leagues now up and running, Serie A returns to our screens this weekend. It's time to delve back into the wonderful world of top-flight Italian soccer, and on Saturday, we can do that by enjoying four fixtures, the first of which involves Genoa and Lecce, two teams that will be looking to build on what were decent seasons last time around. For the hosts, it is a big blow to see Andrea Pinamonti return to parent club Sassuolo, and they're going to have to work very hard to replace his offensive threat, but they have recruited well, so maybe Patrick Vieira's men will fancy themselves to improve on their 2024/25 finish of 13th.
Unlike the hosts, who will need to replace goals, the visitors have kept hold of last season's top scorer, which to be honest, is a little surprising, but it's a positive move nonetheless. Having warmed up with some decent efforts, Eusabio Di Francesco's men, who finished only three points above the dreaded drop zone last season, will be looking to start the new campaign on the front foot.

Our Genoa vs Lecce Prediction
The hosts have lost Pinamonti, which means they lose a consistent provider of goals, though they've seemingly recruited well in an offensive sense, bringing in the super creative Nicolae Stanciu, signing also Albert Grønbæk and Lorenzo Colombo, while they've kept hold of their biggest source of creativity (Aaron Martin). In other words, they have the tools to score goals against teams of Lecce's standing. The visitors can also feature offensively, though, and we shouldn't be surprised if they test the hosts here. Crucially, they've kept hold of Nicola Krstovic, which is massive, while they've also retained the services of both Tete Morente and Santiago Pierotti, so they ought to be capable of scoring some goals this year, even if they'll probably struggle defensively. After all, they ended the previous campaign by scoring in five straight away games, with both teams scoring in four of those. Our Genoa vs Lecce Pick: Both Teams to Score.
