The Sardinians played two away matches and didn't lose either of them. First, the team faced Monza, who are also fighting to avoid being relegated, and earned a vital match. 2:1 - Nadir Zortea and Roberto Piccoli scored the goals for Cagliari. Then, the Islanders stopped AC Milan from winning the Italian Supercoppa at the San Siro. Cagliari conceded at the beginning of the second half, but came back just four minutes later through the efforts of the same Zortea, and kept the draw - 1:1. Cagliari has now got 18 points. The team is still in the relegation zone, but if they defeat Lecce, they will move up to 13th place.
Lecce
While Cagliari has been working under Davide Nicola (Italy's main specialist in the fight for survival) all season, Lecce changed their coach. And so far, they have not made any mistakes. Under Marco Giampaolo, who replaced Luca Gotti, the team is now 13th and out of the relegation zone. Since Giampaolo took charge, Lecce has won three matches, drawn two and lost three.
The third victory in this period was in the previous round. On the road, the team played very well, beating Empoli 3:1. Tete Morente and Nikola Krstovic both scored two goals each. The team has scored three goals, which is the best they have ever been in the current league.

In the first match, Lecce, still managed by Gotti, beat Cagliari 1:0 at home. In the last championship, the two teams tied each game.

Expert Betting Tips
Cagliari has earned four points in their last two games, but Lecce has also been doing well, with only three defeats in eight games since the new head coach arrived. Also, the Giallorossi have not lost to the Sardinians in six matches. We think that X2 is a good bet. And we don't forget the traditional Cagliari corner kicks.
Predictions:
X2 for 1.91
Corners W1 in Half 1 for 1.64
