2009-05-31 - Genoa vs Lecce

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Both these sides enter this match with nothing to play for. While Genoa have secured a place in the Europa League next season, Lecce have been relegated to Serie B after only 12 months of top-flight football.

The fans will surely turn up in droves as they come to support their side who nearly got them into the Champions League. The home side also knows that no matter what happens, they have secured 5th position in the standings above more established sides such as Roma and Palermo. At the start of the season nobody would have predicted their fifth place finishing even.

Lecce got relegated last weekend despite a good performances against Fiorentina. Needless to say they paid the price for sacking Mario Beretta and the appointment of Luigi De Canio didn't help either.

Simone Tiribocchi spoke about their dissappointment of how they could have avoided relegation still and the draw with Fiorentina ended all their hopes largely due to their inexperience.

Genoa will not have the services of Giuseppe Biava and Raffaele Palladino who are out injured while Mario Juric and Ruben Olivera are suspended for this tie. The Uruguayan got himself after the scuffle with Torino players after the match. Diego Milito and Thiago Motta will play their last match as they are due to move to Inter Milan in the new season.

The visitors on the other hand travels with only half their side as Alberto Giuliatto, Fabiano, Tiziano Polenghi and Dimitrios Papadopoulos are suspended and Gianni Munari, Vitorino Antunes, Angelo, Raffaele Schiavi and Francesco Benussi are all injured.

De Canio should hand Cedric Konan a starting spot while Daniele Cacia will start from the bench.

Take Genoa to win this match.

Cheers and good luck,
