One place in the second round of the Copa Italia will be up for grabs on Monday night when Lecce and Mantua go head to head.
Lecce's only goal in the last two seasons has been to stay up. The visitors finished two places above the relegation zone on their return to the top flight in 2022-23, and last season saw some improvement as they finished in fourteenth place.
Mantova meanwhile enjoyed a dream campaign in the third tier last season. The Little Brazilians won Serie C's Girone A to gain promotion to the second tier and will be looking to repeat that form this term.
Lecce vs. Mantova betting tips: Under 2.5 goals
Lecce struggled for goals last season. The hosts were the second lowest scorers in the league last term and their last few games at this ground have not been particularly entertaining. All of Lecce's last six competitive home matches ended with less than 2.5 goals scored, and they failed to score in four of those.
Mantova have already played in this season's Copa Italia, beating Torres 2-1 in the preliminary round and most of their recent games have been entertaining. However, meetings between Lecce and Mantova at this ground aren't known for their entertainment value. Two of the last three have ended with less than 2.5 goals scored, and I fancy a similar outcome on Monday.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Lecce vs Mantova prediction: 1-0

Mantova team news
Given that no injuries were registered in the win over Torres in the Preminary round, Mantova head coach Davide Possanzini is likely to resist the temptation to make alterations to his starting eleven.
Antonio Fiori will keep his place in the final third after netting his first Copa Italia goal in that game, while Mattia Muroni is pushing for a start in the middle of the park.
