Lecce vs Cagliari: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 20, 2025

On September 14, 2025, Lecce will face Cagliari in the fourth round of the Italian Serie A. The match is set to start at 20:45 Central European Time. Let’s examine a bet focusing on the teams’ offensive performance.

Match preview

Last season, Lecce barely avoided being relegated to Serie B. The current season, under coach Eusebio Di Francesco, has also started poorly, with the team earning just one point from three matches—a 0-0 draw against Genoa. They lost their following matches: 0-2 to Milan and 1-4 to Atalanta, placing them at the bottom of the table.

However, the previous opponents were much stronger than Lecce. Now, they will face Cagliari, who are considered a less challenging opponent. Lecce needs to secure points in matches like this to stay in Serie A.

Cagliari comes into this Matchday 4 after a 2-0 victory over Parma. The season started tough for them as well; they managed a late equalizer against Fiorentina in their opener, but lost to Napoli in the second round in the closing moments.

There is also a notable history between the managers. Eusebio Di Francesco, Lecce’s coach, previously managed Cagliari without much success, while Fabio Pisacane, Cagliari’s current coach, has ties to Lecce as a former player.
