Serie A 2025-2026: Cagliari-Lecce, the likely lineups

At the Domus Arena, at 20:45 today, closes the twenty-fifth day of Serie A with the challenge between Cagliari and Lecce. It is an important match, as it puts at stake crucial points in the race for salvation.

Cagliari arrives from the 2-0 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico against Roma, a result that stopped a series of three consecutive victories. The team coached by Pisacane is 13th with 28 points and has a good lead over the relegation zone. They have won three times in their last five matches, showing solidity, especially at home where they also beat Roma and Juventus, always by 1-0.

Lecce, on the other hand, is 18th with 21 points and is in danger of relegation. In the last round, Eusebio Di Francesco’s team won 2-1 against Udinese at the Stadio Via del Mare, returning to success after eight games without a win. It will be a special match for Di Francesco, as he coached Cagliari between 2020 and 2021.

At the first leg, Cagliari won 2-1: Belotti’s brace after Tiago Gabriel’s initial goal was decisive. A precedent that gives confidence to the Sardinians, ready to take advantage of the field factor again.

However, it promises to be an intense and hard-fought challenge: Cagliari wants to consolidate its position, Lecce seeks precious points to get out of the relegation red zone. At the Domus Arena, more than just a victory is at stake.

Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Juan Rodriguez, Obert; Adopo, Sulemana; Palestra, Mazzitelli, Esposito; Kilicsoy. Coach: Pisacane
