The last fixture between the two sides took place in January, with Cagliari winning 4-1 at Unipol Domus and was their fifth meeting since 2020. The results during this period are quite balanced, with each side having won once and the other three matches ending in a draw. The average number of goals scored per game during this period was two.
Lecce team overview
Lecce got off to the best possible start in the 2025-26 campaign at this ground, beating Juve Stabia 2-0 in the first round of the Coppa Italia. The Yellow and Reds kept another clean sheet in their opening league game, but had to settle for a point as the match ended goalless.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s side have since disappointed their fans, losing their two subsequent Serie A matches and conceding six goals in the process.
Having won only one of their last 12 league matches at the Stadio Via del Mare, Friday’s game is likely to be another difficult one for their supporters to watch. Gaby Jean, Filip Marchwinski and Balthazar Pierret are ruled out due to injury.

Cagliari team overview
Meanwhile, Cagliari managed to make it out of the first round of the Coppa Italia with a 5:4 victory on penalties after the game ended 1:1 at full-time.
Fabio Pisacane’s side then picked up just one point from their opening two league games, but showed character by coming from a goal down to draw with Fiorentina, and losing only 1-0 to a high-flying Napoli side.
The Islanders were rewarded for their resilience last weekend when they secured their first win of the campaign through a 2:0 win over Parma. However, Cagliari fans will be concerned that their team has lost each of the last three away games.
Leonardo Pavoletti and Zito Luvumbo will not be available for the visitors this week due to knee and adductor injuries, respectively.

Prediction
Despite being without a win after three games, Lecce can't really be separated from the visitors in terms of form and recent meetings between the two sides have been close. An average of 2.3 goals were scored in the last eight meetings, increasing the likelihood of a low-scoring game. And, given that all of Cagliari's four competitive games so far this season have ended with under 2.5 goals, I am predicting a 1–1 draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- None of the last eight games of Cagliari produced more than two goals.
- Eight of the last nine competitive games of Lecce ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Four of the last five meetings between Lecce and Cagliari ended with under 2.5 goals.
Main prediction Lecce - Cagliari
Under 2.5 goals
