Palermo meets Lecce in the first round of the Coppa Italia as the two sides open their 2026/27 competitive season. This encounter will be hosted in Palermo, and the winner advances to meet Lazio or Mantova. An eight-game unbeaten run against Lecce and a dominant home run has our prediction leaning towards a Palermo win.
In this tournament, Palermo advanced to the second round the last two seasons and will be looking at this as another good opportunity towards that. They have only lost two of their last 10 matches ahead of this one and won five.
Playing at home will add on to the advantage they already hold. Across their latest 14 home matches, Palermo only failed to win once – a draw with Juve Stabia.
Lecce had a strong run in the closing stages of last season as they sought to escape the relegation trapdoor. They achieved just that after winning three of the last four matches. Coming here, they lack similar motivation but will hope to advance.
That could be curtailed by a poor away run, as Lecce managed just three wins in the last 12 matches on the road. Across those 12 away matches they lost seven.
The visitors may be the top-flight side here, but beating Palermo will take some effort.

Our Palermo vs Lecce Prediction
In the last two seasons, Palermo have reached the second round in the Coppa Italia. Here they are looking to make it three, and recent stats favor them. They haven’t lost to Lecce across their last eight meetings and have won five times in that run.
Palermo have also lost just twice across their last 10 matches and won five. Lecce haven’t enjoyed their recent form as much and may not have it in them to desire a deep run in this competition. Therefore, our prediction for Palermo v Lecce is that Palermo wins.
