Spezia vs. Lecce

It's the annual Coppa Italia knockout competition, and Spezia's offense hasn't knocked anything out all season. They're third-worst in the 20-team Italian Serie A League (17 goals scored in 17 matches). They've also been shutout in three of the last four games. They host Lecce here, and they are having a fine season in the Serie B League where they're in third place and anchored by a terrific defense (15 goals allowed in 17 matches). That defense is the second-best in the league. Lecce plays all-out defense when they're away from home with nine of their last 16 road games sailing UNDER 2.5 goals. That includes their last road game, a 1-0 loss at Pisa. Four of six all-time meetings between these teams have gone UNDER 2.5, including the only meeting in Coppa Italia action, a 1-0 Spezia win. Take the UNDER.
