Lazio – Cagliari

Lazio head into the Stadio Olimpico as clear favourites, perched second in the table with 19 points from seven games, boasting six wins, a draw and a solid 14‑4 goal difference. Cagliari sit seventh, having gathered 13 points after seven fixtures, their four wins and lone draw tempered by two defeats and a modest 6‑7 goal margin. The Roman side will look to extend their unbeaten run and widen the gap at the top, while the Sardinians will hope to close the six‑point gap and climb back into the European spots. Their head‑to‑head record this season adds another layer of intrigue, with Lazio’s home advantage likely to tip the balance.
