Cagliari vs. Lecce closes out Matchday 25

Lecce head to Cagliari in search of survival points, while the Sardinians are determined to bounce back after defeat to Roma.

The hosts saw their three-game winning streak over Juventus, Fiorentina, and Verona come to an end with a defeat in Rome, and now they’re aiming for three points against Lecce to potentially pull clear of the relegation zone. The visitors have other plans: Lecce returned to winning ways last week with a victory over Udinese and will be looking to extend their gap from third-from-bottom.
