Lecce and Como have drawn their last two encounters

Lecce and Como lock horns at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in the first round of the 2023-24 Coppa Italia season on Sunday.

Lecce, also known as the Wolves, managed to narrowly survive in Serie A last season. With 36 points from 38 games, they finished in 16th place, just five points clear of Spezia, and avoided immediate relegation to Serie B.

Roberto D'Aversa's side prepared for the new campaign with four pre-season games, winning three. In their last friendly of the summer, Lecce were beaten 3-1 on penalties by Cadiz following a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Como also oversaw a poor league campaign in Serie B but managed to beat the drop. The Blues came 13th in the league table after accruing only 47 points from 38 games.

The Lombardy outfit also kept themselves busy over the summer with five friendly games, but won only twice, a pair of 1-0 wins over Torres and Pro Patria in back-to-back matches.
