Cagliari may be slight favorites for their home match against Lecce, but they've shown vulnerabilities in defense, particularly in their recent game against Inter Milan. Lecce, meanwhile, have generated over 7.00 expected goals (xG) in just three matches, underlining their attacking potency. Given these trends, the best recommendation for this matchup in Sardinia is for both teams to score (BTTS). This bet is justified by Cagliari's leaky back line and Lecce's ability to create quality chances.

Lecce's results are not great in the new campaign, but they had a total of 7.60 xG in three games. Backing both them and Cagliari to find the net is a value bet. 

Key Stats  


  • Cagliari have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 9 matches against Lecce. 
  • Lecce have scored in 4 of their last 6 matches (Serie A). 
  • Lecce have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 away matches (Serie A). 

Lecce Lead H2H 


These two teams locked horns 43 times so far, and Lecce were slightly more successful 17-13 in terms of victories. 

Mixed Results for Cagliari so Far 


Cagliari had a great start to the new Serie A season, beating Parma 1-0 on the road in mid-August with Alessandro Romano netting the winner in the 79th minute. They kept favored hosts to just two shots on target. 

The follow up clash was against the reigning champions Inter Milan at home where they were lucky to lose just 1-0. The opposition had 3.67-0.48 xG, 65% possession, and 31-10 shots. 

The Islanders failed to bounce back in the mid-week Coppa Italia action, losing at home to Hellas Verona 2-1 despite being favorites. 

Lecce's Main Goal is to Avoid Relegation 


Like their upcoming opponents, Lecce were victorious in the opening round as underdogs, beating recently promoted Venezia 2-0 on the road which was an open contest with around 5.00 xG combined and 31 shots. 

Salentini hosted Roma in the second round and had disastrous first half, conceding three unanswered goals and lost the encounter 4-0. Willem Geubbels missed two solid chances to net consolation. 

Eusebio Di Francesco's side was eliminated from the Italian Cup in mid-August, losing to Palermo 2-0 in Sicily which was their first competitive match this season. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Cagliari (4-3-2-1) Elia Caprile; Ze Pedro, Alessandro Deiola, Juan Rodriguez, Adam Obert; Michel Adopo, Harry Winks, Antonio Romano; Jacopo Fazzini, Daniel Maldini; Paul Mendy

The hosts have to cope without Yael Trepy, Riyad Idrissi, and defender Yerry Mina through injury, but new addition MBala Nzola is fit and probably should start on bench.

Lecce (4-3-3) Wladimiro Falcone; Danilo Veiga, Kialonda Gaspar, Gabriel, Antonino Gallo; Ivan Ilic, Lassana Coulibaly, Jay Gorter; Santiago Pierotti, Nikola Stulic, Joel Monteiro

Summer signing Willem Geubbels is going to miss this clash due to an ankle problem.

Verdict

Cagliari are tagged light favorites here, but their back line looked awful against Inter Milan, allowing a lot of chances. Lecce posted more than 7.00 xG in three games this season, so BTTS is tipped in Sardinia.
