The expression for resistance is,
R = ρ L A ( I )         [ L = length of wire  , A =  area of wire , ρ =  resistivity ]
Resistance of wire is depends on length and area of wire.
The resistivity and length of wire are same.
If the area of copper and aluminium wire are same along with the length and resistivity, hence copper and aluminium can have same resistance.
