Lecce vs Cagliari – Preview, and Prediction
Lecce vs Cagliari – Lecce, who finished 2023 with consecutive away losses to Inter Milan and Atalanta, is now looking forward to a winnable match.
On Saturday afternoon, in Matchday No. 19, Roberto D’Aversa’s team hosts Cagliari, another team struggling in the bottom half, at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
Lecce has a significant edge going into this match because both sides have performed far better at home than away thus far this season.
With four wins, three draws, and just two losses in nine league games at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare this season, D’Aversa’s team has a respectable home record.
However, Cagliari has only two points from nine road games this season. Cagliari will also enter this after a painful 1-4 Coppa Italia round of 16 loss to AC Milan on Tuesday.
Given that this will be Cagliari’s third game in the past seven days and that they drew goallessly with Empoli at Unipol Domus last Saturday, fatigue may be a major factor today.
The Claudio Ranieri-led squad enters this match third from bottom in the Serie A standings, having suffered three losses and one tie in their previous four games across all competitions.
Lecce vs Cagliari – Betting Analysis
When these two teams last faced off in the 2019–20 Serie A season, they split the results in both their home and away games. That was four years ago.
Lecce has only lost twice, drawn three, and won four of their last nine home games against Cagliari. In four of six prior matches, Lecce scored two or more goals against Cagliari.
Here, we like Lecce at 2.20 odds. Despite having a full week off and a respectable home record thus far this season, Cagliari are in disarray following a disastrous midweek loss at Stadio Gisueppe Meazza.
What are the best odds for this match?
Turning to the betting odds in the 90-minute result market, a win for Lecce is best priced at 2.24, a bet on the game finishing all-square is 3.34 and staking on the winning team to be Cagliari gets you 3.4. These are the most competitive prices available at the moment.
