Cagliari Calcio vs US Lecce

Cagliari and Lecce both opened the 2026-27 season with wins, and this early meeting at the Unipol Domus already carries weight. Cagliari sit ninth, Lecce seventh, each just three points in — a chance for either to signal top-half ambitions rather than another year battling the table's lower half. Cagliari edged Parma 0-1 on the road, Romano scoring the winner, with the attack rebuilt around summer arrivals Daniel Maldini and Jacopo Fazzini. Lecce were sharper still, beating Venezia 2-0 away through goals from Olaf Gorter and Tiago Gabriel. Cagliari hold the historical edge, winning 26 of the 42 Serie A meetings between the two, though their last encounter finished goalless. Both sides arrive unbeaten and confident, setting up a tight, cagey affair. Our prediction: 1-1
