Lecce preview: Hoping for a good Coppa Italia run
With one win and a couple of losses and draws in Serie A, Lecce haven't had the best of starts to the new season. That being said, with five points they are still outside of the relegation zone, but only by two points. Of course, it is still early for any conclusions, but it seems that Lecce will be one of the teams fighting against relegation this season.
When it comes to team news, Mohamed Kaba and Medon Berisha are out with injuries.
