National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Lecce or Cittadella that keep their silverware dream alive.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cittadella have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Lecce form and stats

Last season, Lecce's Coppa Italia journey ended in the round of 16.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare as Lecce have scored 37 goals to get 44 points from 19 games. The overall stats in the Serie B are 13-5-1 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Lecce last time playing, versus Pordenone. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Majer scoring for the victors.

Cittadella form and stats

Last season their Coppa Italia adventure ended in the 2nd round.

As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Cittadella have produced an overall stat of 6-8-5 so far.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Brescia in the Serie B.
