Spezia hosts Lecce in the Coppa Italia 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, December 16th at Stadio Alberto Picco (La Spezia)
Spezia is spending only the second year in Serie A. Of course, it would be hard for any ex-debutant in such conditions. Moreover, the coach who created this team, Vincenzo Italiano, went for promotion to Florence, where he headed Fiorentina. Under Thiago Motta, the Eaglets cannot boast of high results, but they at least manage to stay above the relegation zone. Including with the help of Ukrainian Kovalenko, who is rented from Atalanta and appears on the pitch quite regularly. But it is dangerous to relax when Genoa and Cagliari are nearby, and there is no need to waste energy on other tournaments. On Monday, Spezia lost to AS Roma without any chances in Serie A.

In 2019, Lecce was able to win Serie B and returned to the elite division of the country. However, the Wolves could not gain a foothold there. Of course, the club's management sets the task to break into Calcio again. The Yellow-Reds didn’t manage to do it in the previous season: only 4th place and defeat in the playoffs. Now, under the management of Marco Baroni, who moved from Reggina, Lecce manages to impose a struggle on Brescia and an unexpected leader, Pisa. But just before the cup game, the Wolves suffered their second defeat in the current season. And they lost for the first time after the opening round of Serie B. Lecce managed to earn points in a dozen and half matches, and November ended with an away victory over SPAL (1-3). And December began with a 2-0 win over Reggina. But in the last round, Lecce lost to Pisa away (1-0). As a result, the gap to the first line increased to four points.
In the last five head-to-head matches, the team that hosted the opponent did not lose. Spezia and Lecce gained one victory each, and three games ended in draws. It is better for both teams to save their strength for the fight in the championship. So, we are not waiting for a special struggle for victory, and low production suggests itself.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
