Cagliari vs Lecce Predictions

• Lecce have conceded 15 goals in their five games post-restart
• The visitors have conceded nearly 20 shots per away game on average
• Lecce have conceded twice or more in their last eight away games
• Cagliari have scored twice or more on eight occasions at home this term

Improving Cagliari can hurt Lecce

Cagliari look back in form after losing just once in their last five games, with that defeat coming against an Atalanta side who have won all of their last nine games. The Sardinians are aiming to wrap up a top half finish, while they will hope to return to the thrilling attacking style which they’ve served up at their best this term.

We saw hints of that as they dispatched Torino in a 4-2 win in their first post-lockdown home win. If they are going to stretch themselves going forward, there are few better opponents to face than Lecce, with the visitors coming into this clash as one of the worst defensive outfits in the division. Will they capitulate in this visit to Sardinia?

Can visitors continue Lazio spirit?

Lecce were able to jump out of the bottom three with a victory over Lazio. That 2-1 victory was impressive, but it was another game without a clean sheet for the strugglers. They come into this one having shipped 15 goals across their last five games since the restart. On their travels this season they’ve conceded 19.9 shots against per game, so this is going to be a clash where Cagliari have chances.

The visitors have been pummelled in their last three away trips, conceding four times in each of those three defeats. Each of their last eight away games across all competitions have seen them concede twice or more. Following that form, our predictions are backing the visitors to ship even more goals in this visit to Sardinia.

Cagliari to dominate

The hosts have averaged 1.93 goals per game at home this term, with their average hauled down by some mixed results against the top teams. While they’ve scored twice or more in eight home games this season, six of those have come in seven clashes with sides in the bottom half. They’ll be aiming to add to that against a Lecce team who have shipped 26 goals across their last seven league games.

Lecce have conceded twice or more in 11 of their 15 away trips, including every visit to a side placed 12th or above. They’ve shipped 38 times in 15 visits, at an average of 2.5 per game. Following that run, we’re backing over 1.5 goals for a Cagliari side who have hit 20 goals across seven meetings with bottom half teams. On top of that, we’re going with a 3-2 correct score prediction with Cagliari conceding twice in four of their six home wins this season.
