Serie A | Cagliari Calcio VS US Lecce; Sunday, 05 May at 18:30 GMT +8

Cagliari will aim to improve on their 3-0 Serie A loss against Genoa, where they managed 36% possession and 11 attempts at goal. Genoa had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target. Cagliari has not kept a clean sheet in recent matches, allowing 10 goals. They have not lost to Lecce in their previous three games, won against Lecce in their previous four matches, and been defeated in their previous five home league matches.

Lecce won a Serie A match against Monza, with 46% possession and 12 attempts at goal. Nikola Krstović scored the only goal for Lecce, while Monza had 9 shots and 1 on target. Lecce’s defensive unit has conceded 4 goals in their last 6 matches, while scoring 6 goals. However, this trend may not be sustained in this match. Lecce hasn’t been beaten by Cagliari in their last two league games away from home.

Cagliari’s Claudio Ranieri will miss Jakub Jankto, Nicolas Viola, and Leonardo Pavoletti due to ankle problems, muscle injuries, and sprains. The 4-2-3-1 system is expected to be used, starting with Simone Scuffet, Gabriele Zappa, and Yerry Mina.

Lecce boss Luca Gotti faces several unavailable players, including Kastriot Dermaku, Lameck Banda, Mohamed Kaba, and Jeppe Corfitzen. Giallorossi is likely to use a 4-4-2 system, with Wladimiro Falcone, Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Marin Pongracic, Antonino Gallo, Remi Oudin, Alexis Blin, Hamza Rafia, Patrick Dorgu, Nikola Krstovic, and Roberto Piccoli.
