Cagliari 4-1 Lecce

Current streaks

Recent form

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent form has been concerning, with the team struggling to find consistency in Serie A. They've endured a difficult run of four consecutive defeats before showing signs of improvement in their last two matches. The Sardinian side have been particularly vulnerable defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven games and conceding an average of two goals per match in their previous six outings. Their 4-0 thrashing by Juventus in the Coppa Italia stands out as a particularly heavy defeat. On a more positive note, Cagliari have managed to score in 50% of their recent matches, although their goal-scoring average of 0.67 per game indicates a need for improvement in attack. The team's position of 18th in the league table reflects their struggles, with their recent draw against AC Milan potentially serving as a platform to build upon and climb out of the relegation zone.

Lecce

Lecce's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team currently sitting in 13th position in Serie A. Their last six matches have seen them secure two victories, one draw, and suffer three defeats. Notably, Lecce have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in this period. However, they have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in five out of six matches and averaging 1.17 goals per game. The team's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. Lecce's most impressive result came in their latest outing, a 3-1 away victory against Empoli, which broke a run of three games without a win. Despite their mid-table position, Lecce have demonstrated the ability to both score and concede, making their matches potentially entertaining for neutral spectators.

Recent home/away form

Cagliari

Cagliari have been struggling at home recently, with a concerning run of three consecutive losses in their last four matches at the Sardegna Arena. Despite this poor form, they have managed to produce some entertaining encounters, notably the thrilling 3-3 draw against AC Milan, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Their home record shows a mix of results, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six fixtures. Whilst they've only kept one clean sheet during this period, they've shown the ability to score, netting seven goals across these matches. However, their defensive frailties are evident, conceding 11 goals in the process. The team's tendency to be involved in high-scoring affairs is reflected in their 50% rate of matches going over 2.5 goals, suggesting that their home games often provide excitement for the neutral spectator.

Lecce

Lecce's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a notable improvement in their latest match. The side have struggled on the road, losing four of their last six away games, including a run of three consecutive defeats against Napoli, Bologna, and AS Roma. However, they've shown resilience by bookending this poor run with two victories. Their most recent away match saw a convincing 3-1 win against Empoli, which was their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, Lecce have found it challenging, keeping only one clean sheet in their last six away fixtures and conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. Despite this, their matches tend to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their away games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's goal-scoring record on the road has been modest, averaging less than a goal per game, which has contributed to their current 13th position in Serie A.
