Cagliari

LDWDDL

Cagliari won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 3-0 Serie A defeat in their last game at the hands of Genoa.

In that match, Cagliari had 36% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Genoa got 12 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Morten Thorsby (17'), Morten Frendrup (27') and Albert Guðmundsson (63') scored for Genoa.

It’s not been often in recent times that Cagliari have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Cagliari have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals on the way.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Cagliari:

• haven't lost in the league to Lecce in their previous 3 games.
• haven't won against Lecce in their previous 4 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 5 home league matches.

Lecce

WDLWWD

In their last fixture, Lecce drew 1-1 in the Serie A match with Monza.

In that match, Lecce had 46% possession and 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Lecce was Nikola Krstović (92'). Monza got 9 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. Matteo Pessina (96') was the scorer for Monza.

A run of steadfast showings from the Lecce defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 clashes in total. During the same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 6. Such a trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, however.

Coming into this clash, Lecce haven't been beaten by Cagliari when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league games.

If we look at their past head to head meetings going back to 17/04/2011, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Cagliari winning 1 of those games, Lecce 1 and 4 being drawn in normal time.

📰 Team News: Cagliari

We are thinking that Casteddu / Rossoblu may well opt for a 3-5-2 system for this game and select Simone Scuffet, P. Chatzidiakos, Yerry Mina, Alberto Dossena, Nahitán Nández, Antoine Makoumbou, Gianluca Gaetano, I. Suleman Kakari, Tommaso Augello, Eldor Shomurodov and Zito Luvumbo.

📋 Team News: Lecce

Lecce manager Luca Gotti has some current player fitness concerns. Lameck Banda (Knee surgery), Mohamed Kaba (Cruciate ligament injury), Kastriot Dermaku (Cruciate ligament injury) and Jeppe Corfitzen (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Giallorossi might begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, settling for Wladimiro Falcone, Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Marin Pongračić, Antonino Gallo, Rémi Oudin, Hamza Rafia, Alexis Blin, Patrick Dorgu, Nikola Krstovic and Roberto Piccoli.

✨ Prediction

We’re thinking that Lecce have enough to put one past this Cagliari side, however it possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We reckon that it will be both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Cagliari when all is said and done. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
