Cagliari vs Lecce Prediction & Match Preview

Cagliari vs Lecce Match Preview

The two southernmost teams in Italian top flight will come across each other in the first match of Sunday’s schedule at Unipol Domus. Cagliari and Lecce sit right next to each other in the bottom half of the league table going into the tie. The hosts are in a much more complicated position being just three points above the drop zone.

• Cagliari are undefeated in five straight home matches in the league.
• Lecce kept just 2 clean sheets in 17 away outings in this term of Serie A.
• Both teams were on target in each of Cagliari’s last eight home affairs.

Cagliari snapped a four-match unbeaten streak with a tough 0-3 defeat at the hands of Genoa on Monday evening. They continued with poor defensive showings. The Rossoblu conceded at least two goals in each of the last three league fixtures.

Lecce have been on a much better run of form lately. They picked up seven out of nine possible points in the last three rounds. They’ve all but secured another elite-class campaign thanks to this run. Luca Gotti’s troops are seven points above the red zone with just four games remaining.

Recent Meetings

• We did not see a winner in any of the last three head-to-head matches between Cagliari and Lecce.

• Both teams were on target in all but one of the previous four H2H clashes.

Cagliari vs Lecce Prediction

Cagliari are in bigger need for points but their back line has been all over the place lately. The Rossoblu kept just 1 clean sheet in the last 17 outings across competitions. They allowed seven goals in the previous three league matches, including three in Monday’s defeat at Genoa.

Lecce shipped only one goal in the last three Serie A fixtures. It came late in the stoppage time of the last weekend’s home draw to Monza (1-1). That said, Lecce have really been struggling on travels since the beginning of the season.

Lecce won 2, drew 6, and lost 9 of 17 away outings in this term of Serie A. They also have a dreadful away record against Cagliari. On the other side, Cagliari are unbeaten in five straight home outings.

We believe the hosts have what it takes to see off Lecce in front of the sold-out Unipol Domus on Sunday. The home win is paid at the 2.10 odds.

Both teams scored in each of Cagliari’s last eight home matches in the league. With this piece of information, we simply have to shoot for the Both Teams To Score pick at the sky-high 1.95 odds.

Lecce kept only 2 clean sheets in 17 away outings this season in Serie A. Also, three of the previous four H2H matches between these counterparts produced goals at both ends.
