Hosts Lecce started their campaign in the Coppa Italia, beating Serie B side Mantova 2-1. They have, however, failed to replicate the same against teams in their league. Their first game of the season was against Europa League holders Atalanta.

Lecce suffered a 4-0 home loss in that encounter. Giallorosi’s second league match was even tougher, away to the champions, Inter Milan, where they were beaten 2-0. Back at home, they will hope to grind out a result against a much more manageable opponent.

The problem is that they have just a win in the last eight home league games.

Cagliari have had a slightly better start to the season compared to Lecce but are still in search of a league win. Like their hosts, they started their campaign with a win in the Coppa Italia, overcoming Carrarese 3-1.

Beating the Serie B opponent was hardly unexpected. Now they go into their first away match of the season. In their Serie A opener, Cagliari played to a 0-0 draw with AS Roma and couldn’t build on it as they drew the second 1-1 with Como.

东道主莱切以2-1击败意乙球队曼托瓦，开始了他们在意大利杯的征程。然而，他们没能在同级别球队的比赛中取得同样的成绩。他们本赛季的第一场比赛是对阵欧联杯冠军亚特兰大。

莱切在那场比赛中主场0 - 4负于对手。罗马的第二场联赛更加艰难，客场对阵冠军国际米兰，他们以0 - 2被击败。回到主场，他们将希望在面对一个更容易对付的对手时取得一个结果。

问题是他们在最近的八场主场比赛中只赢了一场。

卡利亚里本赛季的开局比莱切稍好一些，但他们仍在寻求联赛的胜利。和他们的东道主一样，他们在意大利杯上以3:1战胜卡拉雷塞，开始了他们的新赛季。

击败乙级对手并不出人意料。现在他们进入了本赛季的第一场客场比赛。在他们的意甲首战中，卡利亚里0-0战平罗马，但在与科莫的第二场1-1战平中，卡利亚里没能延续下去。
