Cagliari - Lecce predictions

Cagliari might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Lecce are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

Lecce appear severely unprepared for a clash with Cagliari, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.86 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Serie A disappointment. Cagliari suffered a disappointing Genoa away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Sunday.

The visiting team are here on the back of a somewhat disappointing draw. They had the home-field advantage for that bout, and their supporters were hoping that would be enough for them to overcome Monza. Unfortunately for them, the whole game was a protracted stalemate, ending with 1:1 on the scoreboard.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Cagliari’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

The hosts will probably avoid relegation this season, if only by a hairpin. They’ve placed at 14th in the standings, but are heading into a relatively tough match. Still, notable changes on the table are unlikely with almost no rounds left in the season.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Cagliari and Lecce ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.15, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
