Cagliari (home)
- Cagliari have won two of their last three home games, losing the other to Lecce just one day ago.
- Fabio Pisacane has done a good job since being promoted from Cagliari’s youth set-up in June 2025 as the Islanders are very tough to beat and they have been solid at home of late.
- Pisacane’s pragmatic approach to the game sees a back four or back three structure with compact defensive lines and disciplined midfield screens.
Lazio (away)
- Lazio are unbeaten in their last three away games, which includes a 2-2 draw at Juventus and a penalty shoot-out win at Bologna in the Coppa Italia.
- The draw with Juventus left Lazio unbeaten in their last three on the road, but their overall away record in Serie A 2025/2026 has been poor - W3, D5, L4 with only eight goals scored in 12 away matches.
Head-to-Head
- Lazio have won the last three head-to-head meetings, including a 2-0 victory three months ago.
- Cagliari have failed to win their last two home games against Lazio, which is a minor concern, but the hosts should be able to give it a go in what should be a tight contest.
Key Players
- Semih Kilicsoy, who has four goals in 16 Serie A 2025/2026 games, is the main goal threat while Danilo Cataldi tops Lazio’s scoring charts with three from 22 in Serie A 2025/2026 - an indication of how Lazio’s goals are spread out.
- Pedro Rodriguez has scored two in Lazio’s last five so he could be a good pick to make an impact from the wide areas.
Betting Insights
- Lazio are the slight favorites at 2.36 while Cagliari are marked up at 3.2 and the draw is 2.98.
- Under 2.5 goals looks a decent play in the immediate odds at 1.57.
Prediction
Lazio may just have enough quality to edge a close win for a double chance bet.
