Coppa Italia 2025-2026: Lecce-Juve Stabia, the probable formations

The curtain is lifted on the official season of Lecce and Juve Stabia, which will face each other in the first round of the Coppa Italia on Friday, August 15. As per regulations, qualification will be decided in a dry match: up for grabs is the pass to challenge, in the next round, the winner of Milan-Bari.

The Via del Mare is preparing for a very hot evening: the anticipation is high, thanks to a short but intense football summer, marked also by the parenthesis of the World Cup for Clubs. Two hot and passionate fans will come face to face on the eve of a season that, for both, promises to be challenging.

The category gap is there: Lecce is in Serie A, while Juve Stabia, fresh from an unsuccessful promotion attempt, will start again from the cadetteria. But the Coppa Italia, you know, loves surprises, and the match already promises sparks.

Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Kouassi, Gaspar, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Coulibaly, Pierret, Berisha; Pierotti, Krstovic, Banda.
