&lt;p&gt;Serie A Enilive matchday 29 gets underway at the Luigi Ferraris with Genoa vs Lecce, who will be in action at 20:45 CET. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The home side will aim to get back to winning ways, following two draws against Empoli and Cagliari. They will also want to reward their fans with a win, something that they’ve not seen since 17 February, in order to move further away from the relegation zone. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;However, Marco Giampaolo’s side find themselves in a battle for survival.
