Lecce

Both sides enter this contest with identical records of one win and one defeat from their opening two Serie A fixtures. Cagliari have proven resilient defensively in competitive action, conceding just one goal across their two league matches. While Lecce secured an away win at Venezia, their heavy 4-0 home defeat to AS Roma exposed vulnerabilities. In past meetings, Cagliari have taken points in seven of the last ten encounters against Lecce, making the home win or draw a solidly backed position in a fixture that averages just 2.4 goals per match.

Roma enter this match with strong momentum after a dominant 4-0 opening victory against Fiorentina, whereas Lecce took maximum points from Venezia. The head-to-head record provides substantial backing for the visitors, as Roma have won eight and drawn two of the last ten meetings between the sides without suffering a single defeat. While Lecce kept a clean sheet in round one, Roma possess superior attacking depth and are well placed to leave with at least a point.

Venezia have shown strong attacking form in recent outings, scoring in each of their last five matches. In head-to-head history, 50% of the last eight meetings have ended in draws, making the Double Chance for the home side a probable outcome against a Lecce side that failed to score in their recent 2-0 loss to Palermo.
