National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Spezia or Lecce that keep their silverware dream alive.
Lecce play their home games on grass, while this game will take part on artifical turf. Recent stats for Lecce when featuring on artifical turf are 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats from one match. They have scored 5 goals and conceded 1 time in these games.
These teams have little in common geographically as Lecce have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Spezia have less rest than Lecce in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie A game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Roma, so at least Spezia are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Spezia have not come this way in the Coppa Italia without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Pordenone.
