Our Verdict
Cagliari's home form reads strongly, with two wins, a draw, and just one defeat from their last five at the Sardegna Arena. Their 4-1 demolition of Lecce in January 2025 underlines a clear edge in this fixture. Lecce, sitting 10th, have lost three of their last five away, which undermines confidence in a travelling upset. The double chance 1X looks the shrewd selection here, well supported at 2.05 for the home win alone. Back Cagliari not to lose on their own patch.
