Lecce have endured a difficult start to the 2025\/26 Serie A season, as Di Francesco’s men have picked up just one point from their opening three matches – scoring one goal along the way.<\/p>\n
After playing out a 0-0 stalemate against Genoa on Matchday One, Lecce supporters were left with mixed opinions, praising the resolute back-line, but questioning the attacking set-up.<\/p>\n
This defensive stability was left in tatters during Lecce’s most recent Serie A encounters, as Di Francesco’s side lost 2-0 at home to AC Milan and 4-1 to Atalanta last time out.<\/p>\n
Konan Ndri scored Lecce’s only goal of the season in Bergamo, but the back-line could not live with Atalanta’s attacking roster despite the absence of Ademola Lookman.<\/p>\n
Lecce currently sit bottom of Serie A and face a Cagliari side that have shown a lot of promise during the opening weeks of Serie A under Fabio Pisacane.<\/p>\n
Cagliari began their league campaign with a 1-1 stalemate at home to Fiorentina, as Sebastiano Luperto popped-up with an equalizer in the 94th minute.<\/p>\n
The Italian side were then narrowly defeated by current champions Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, as Frank Anguissa scored a 95th minute winner for Antonio Conte’s side.<\/p>\n
Most recntly, Cagliari secured their first win of the season after beating Parma 2-0 at home, as Yerry Mina and Mattia Felici were on target to clinch all-three points at Unipol Domus.<\/p>\n
Lecce:<\/strong> Falcone; Kouassi, Gabriel, Gaspar, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani, Berisha; Morente, Stulic, Sottil<\/p>\n Cagliari:<\/strong> Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Adopo, Prati, Folorunsho; Gaetano; Esposito, Belotti<\/p>\n This Serie A encounter has been closely fought in recent years, with four of the last six meetings ending in stalemates, with both teams sharing a victory from the matches last season.<\/p>\n Lecce picked up a 1-0 victory in this fixture last season, while Cagliari thrashed their upcoming opponents 4-1 in the reverse fixture and highlighted their superior attacking roster.<\/p>\n Taking this into consideration, alongside both sides’ performances so far, we expect the visitors to pick up a narrow victory away from home and keep a clean sheet along the way.<\/p>\n Prediction: Lecce 0-2 Cagliari<\/b><\/p>\n The Italian defender has been a consistent member of Cagliari’s side since joining the club in July 2021 and has cemented his place in the right-back position under Pisacane.<\/p>\n Despite strong performances for the Serie A side, Zappa is yet to earn a cap for the Italian national team as the Azzurri look to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n Zappa has been booked in his last two Serie A appearances for Cagliari, receiving a yellow card after five minutes against Napoli and then 23 minutes into the win over Parma.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the 25-year-old was cautioned in this fixture last season and will come up against Tete Morente, who won two fouls and created two big chances for Lecce in their latest league match.<\/p>\n The post Lecce vs Cagliari Preview, Prediction, Possible Lineups and Betting Tips appeared first on FootItalia.com.<\/p>\nLecce vs Cagliari Prediction<\/b><\/h2>\n
