Cagliari - Lecce

Cagliari arrive at this third round of Serie A fixtures looking to recover their footing after a difficult week. Their season began with a positive result against Parma Calcio, but a narrow league defeat to Inter was followed by a cup exit at the hands of Hellas Verona. The hosts will look to the expected midfield trio of Jacopo Fazzini, Alessandro Romano, and Harry Winks to dictate play at Unipol Domus.

Lecce travel to the Unipol Domus aiming to bounce back from a heavy defeat against Roma. Their campaign has been marked by inconsistency, including a solid win over Venezia and a cup loss to Palermo. The sides last met in the league on 16 February 2026, when Lecce secured a 2-0 victory. With Wladimiro Falcone expected to start in goal, Lecce hope to replicate that defensive stability against an attacking line led by Kevin Carlos and Daniel Maldini.
