Two sides who are yet to register a win in the Italian top flight this season meet this weekend as Lecce play host to Cagliari.
Lecce are competing in Serie A for the third season in a row. Their return to the top flight in 2022-23 saw them finish just one place above the relegation zone but there were improvements last season, with the team finishing four places above the relegation zone. However, I Giallorossi have made a poor start to the new campaign, losing their first two games 6-0 on aggregate.
Cagliari meanwhile are competing in Serie A for the second season in a row. The visitors finished the 2023-24 campaign just one point above the relegation zone and their form on the road contributed greatly to that. Davide Nicola's side managed just two away wins last term and will be keen to improve on that this term.
Lecce vs Cagliari Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
When it comes to scoring goals, Lecce have had little to celebrate in recent months and these problems are likely to continue this weekend. I Giallorossi failed to find the back of the net in their last three games of last season and are yet to score this term.
While Lecce have struggled to find the back of the net, they haven't conceded many goals, especially at home, with all their last six Serie A games at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare ending with under 2.5 goals.
Cagliari have only found the back of the net once this season. Both of their games ended with less than 2.5 goals and recent meetings between Cagliari and Lecce were also devoid of goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Lecce vs Cagliari prediction: 1-1
