🇮🇹 Cagliari vs Lecce 🇮🇹 — Prediction
Serie A · Matchday 3 · Mon, 07 Sept 2026, 18:30 CEST · Unipol Domus, Cagliari
Why we called it
Both sides sit on 3 points: Cagliari won 1-0 at Parma then lost 0-1 at home to Inter and 1-2 to Verona in the Coppa Italia, while Lecce won 2-0 at Venezia before being torn apart 0-4 at home by Roma. Pisacane's Cagliari line up 4-3-3 with Caprile, Winks and Romano behind Maldini, Mendy and Fadera, missing Idrissi, Trepy and probably Mina; Di Francesco's Lecce go 3-5-2 with Falcone, Gaspar and Tiago Gabriel in defence and Stulic up front with Pierotti. Odds around 1.95 for the home win versus 4.00 for Lecce make this a clear but not overwhelming home favourite, and previews expect a low-scoring game, so a one-goal Cagliari win with Mendy, their focal point, on the scoresheet.
