Genoa hold off Lecce fightback to win 2-1 at Stadio Via del Mare
Genoa won 2-1 away to Lecce at Stadio Via del Mare on Serie A matchday 10, with both sides' goals arriving before the interval. The visitors scored twice inside the first half-hour, Lecce pulled one back shortly before half-time, and the second half passed without a goal.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Milutin Osmajić opened the scoring in the 11th minute, converting a chance created by Junior Messias. Messias then got on the scoresheet himself in the 28th minute, finishing from a pass by Stephan El Shaarawy to make it 2-0. Youssef Maleh gave Lecce hope with a goal in the 40th minute, and the score stood at 1-2 at half-time.
Lecce had 18 shots to Genoa's 13 and forced seven on target to the visitors' three, yet could not find an equaliser. Genoa's two first-half goals proved enough for a result that lifted Daniele De Rossi's side from 13th to 11th on 13 points, while Lecce stayed 14th on nine points after a third straight defeat.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Lecce 36%, the draw 31%, Genoa 33%. It finished Lecce 1–2 Genoa.
Home advantage edges Lecce past stronger Genoa — Lecce lead narrowly only because of the usual home advantage, since our strength rating has Genoa 75 points higher and home sides in Serie A do less well than the global norm. The draw starts at 29%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and rises to 31% thanks to typical scoring in both sides' recent games and Serie A's usual draw rate.
Why Lecce at 36%?
Home ground, against the rating. Genoa sit 75 points higher on our strength rating — 1627 to 1552. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.6% of 11,136 such games.
Why only 36%?
Because Genoa are the stronger side on our strength rating. Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,174 games vs 44.6% across all 108,290 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why the draw at 31%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.0%. These teams' recent games average 2.7 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.4% of 30,368. The goals environment adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Genoa come into this after a busy window — 14 arrivals and 17 departures over the summer. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Out: Lassana Coulibaly and Santiago Pierotti, important players, Kialonda Gaspar, a rotation player, and Ivan Ilić and Willem Geubbels, on provisional ratings. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
