Lecce vs Cagliari prediction, H2H and probable lineups — September 19, 2025
On September 14, 2025, as part of the fourth round of the Italian Serie A, Lecce and Cagliari will go head-to-head. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 Central European Time. Let's take a look at a bet focused on the teams' attacking output in this clash.
Match preview
Last season, Lecce narrowly avoided relegation to Serie B. The new campaign under Eusebio Di Francesco has started just as poorly: after three rounds, the team has only one point to its name, earned in the opener against Genoa (0-0). The subsequent matches ended in defeat—0-2 to Milan and 1-4 to Atalanta. As a result, Lecce sits at the bottom of the table.
However, it's worth noting that their opponents so far have been significantly stronger than the Giallorossi. Now, Lecce faces a less formidable adversary—Cagliari. These are precisely the matches where the team must collect points if they want to retain their Serie A status.
Cagliari approaches this Serie A Matchday 4 fixture on a high after a 2-0 win over Parma. Fabio Pisacane's side had a challenging start to the season: in the opener against Fiorentina, the Sardinians salvaged a draw in stoppage time, while in the second round against Napoli, the tables turned—the Neapolitans snatched victory in the dying minutes.
Adding extra intrigue to the upcoming match is the managers' backstory. Lecce's head coach Eusebio Di Francesco previously led Cagliari, albeit without much success. On the other side, current Sardinian boss Fabio Pisacane knows Lecce well—he ended his playing career at the club.
