Genoa vs Lecce Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

With a roughly 60% chance of triumphing, the bookmakers aren’t giving too much away with their -147 betting odds for Genoa winning this Serie A clash. Lecce are trading at a bigger price than their opponents and the outsiders can be backed at +440.

Genoa -0.75 at -110 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Lecce, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

A low-scoring contest will be anticipated by many and Under 2.5 Goals currently has the shortest odds. The Both Teams to Score No pick is -164 if you’re expecting at least one side will fail to find the net.

You’ll love the hundreds of markets if you want to wager on the Serie A coupon and we advise heading to the leading sports betting sites to get the football wager that you think is value.
