Venue (City, Stadium) | Stadio Olimpico |
Serie A leaders Lazio welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, and on paper Lazio vs Cagliari is the form side against a team stuck in a rut.
Gennaro Gattuso's side sit top of the table and play on the front foot, and the Lazio vs Cagliari betting odds reflect that, with the hosts 1/2 with Bet365.
Fabio Pisacane's Cagliari sit 11th and arrive short on confidence. 10Bet offer 7/1 on an away win, which says plenty about how little is expected of them.
The previous meetings tally offers the visitors nothing. Lazio have won five, the other finished level, and Cagliari are still waiting for a win in that run.
Lazio vs Cagliari Form
Lazio have won 9 of their last 10 in Serie A and sit top of the table on merit. Their latest outing was a 6-2 thrashing at Sassuolo, with Tijjani Noslin bagging a brace. Mattia Zaccagni remains the main threat down the left, which is exactly where this side do most of their damage.
Cagliari have been beaten in each of their past three Serie A outings, the most recent a 4-2 defeat to AS Roma, and the defence has been leaking goals throughout. Daniel Maldini is the bright spot, chipping in regularly from behind the striker, but goals at one end count for little when the back door keeps swinging open.

Lazio vs Cagliari Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Lazio win, and with goals in the fixture. Our Lazio vs Cagliari prediction leans firmly towards the hosts, who carry a 64.1% win projection. A projected total of 2.92 goals suggests Cagliari's leaky back line gets found out, even if Maldini pinches one at the other end, and our Lazio vs Cagliari best bets follow the same line.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Lazio have scored at least twice in their last seven Serie A games, and Cagliari have conceded two or more in their last three. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 6 of Lazio's last 7 Serie A games. Lazio have also scored at least twice in 10 of their last 12 home matches against Cagliari in all competitions, so a quiet afternoon would be a surprise.
Lazio to beat Cagliari in the Win Market. The league leaders have won 9 of their last 10 in Serie A and 13 of their last 14 home games against Cagliari. It is a short price, but this is the side top of the table at home to a team that has lost its last three league outings. Short for good reason, then.

Lazio vs Cagliari Talking Points
Gattuso used his pre-match press conference to warn his squad against complacency, calling Cagliari a demanding test. Fair enough, that is his job, but this Lazio side have goals all over them. They lead Serie A with a 16.8% shot conversion rate. They have also had 12 different goalscorers in the league this term, so shutting down one man does not solve the problem. Cagliari, weak at defending set pieces and long shots and prone to fouling in dangerous areas, look poorly built to cope with a side that finishes this ruthlessly.
