Coppa Italia-Lecce VS Mantova

 

Lecce and Mantova have a limited history of encounters, with only six matches played between them, the most recent being a 2-2 draw in 2010. That season, Lecce won the Serie B title, while Mantova was relegated to Serie C after finishing near the bottom of the table.

 

Evaluating Lecce's performance last season is challenging. Despite expectations of relegation from Serie A, they managed to finish fourteenth and maintain their top-flight status. However, their performances often fell short of expectations, with luck playing a significant role in securing points.

 

This is reflected in their goal difference of 32-54. Additionally, their summer friendlies were underwhelming, with three losses and only one win, leaving room for improvement as they head into the new season.

 

But I still tip Lecce to win.
