Cagliari vs Lecce prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 19, 2025
The match of the 21st round of the Italian Serie A between Cagliari and Lecce will take place on Sunday at the Unipol Domus stadium. We suggest a bet on the total goals in this match with a good coefficient.
Match preview
In the previous round, Cagliari earned an important point on the road against Milan (1:1). This result became their second consecutive match without a defeat — earlier, the team won against Monza (2:1). Thanks to these successes, the club slightly improved its position in the standings, accumulating 18 points and trailing by just one point from 17th place, which guarantees survival in Serie A.
However, it is worth noting that Cagliari is facing serious problems at home. In the last 13 Serie A matches, they were unable to win in 11 of them, recording 5 draws and 6 losses. Cagliari tends to get positive results mainly in matches against clubs of similar level.
On the other hand, Marco Giampaolo's team secured a solid away victory against Empoli (3:1), which became Lecce's fifth success of the current Serie A season. However, despite the win, the team continues to struggle with attacking issues, being the worst club in the league for goals scored (only 14).
Currently, Lecce is in 13th place in the standings with 20 points. As for away matches, they have not won 10 of the last 12 away games in Serie A (3 draws, 7 losses). Moreover, in the last 12 away games, Lecce failed to score in 8 of them, scoring only 6 goals.
