Lazio v Cagliari

Lazio vs Cagliari Preview

Lazio will be going in search of a third league win on the trot in Serie A on Monday night when they play host to Cagliari following recent back-to-back wins, while Cagliari will be keen to avoid a third defeat on the trot after being handed a 2-0 loss at home to Bologna in midweek.

Lazio have picked up two wins on the trot in the domestic top flight as the hosts registered important victories against Genoa and Como, the latter being a 5-1 comprehensive win on their travels.

The bigger picture shows Lazio have slipped to just three defeats within their previous 17 matches overall in Serie A which were dealt out to Marco Baroni's side by the likes of Udinese, Fiorentina and Juventus respectively, but the hosts have also collected 10 wins in the process as well.

Interestingly, each of Lazio's three losses were handed to them away from home but form and results on home soil at their Stadio Olimpico have been impressive as Lazio are unbeaten in their last 10 home games along with picking up eight wins within this period as well.

Cagliari have slipped to back-to-back defeats in the Italian top flight to Udinese and Bologna respectively and these recent losses do not bode well for the upcoming visitors when they make their way to the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night.

League wins have been hard to come by for Cagliari who have managed to capture just two wins within their opening 10 games overall which came by way of victories over Parma and Torino but also includes being dealt five defeats so far this term.

The bigger picture shows Cagliari have actually collected just four wins from their last 20 matches overall in the domestic top flight while also slipping to nine losses along the way as well, so the visitors could well have their work cut out here on Monday night at the Stadio Olimpico.

Results away from home have been even more disappointing where Cagliari have been concerned as Davide Nicola's side have managed to muster just three wins in their last 28 outings on the road in Serie A along with being handed no fewer than 17 losses within this period which further underlines Cagliari's problems overall in the domestic top flight.

In addition, six out of Cagliari's last 10 away games in Serie A have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals as well.

Lazio v Cagliari Verdict

Previous history suggests Lazio are the more likely to grab the all-important three points here at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night as the hosts have won nine out of the last 10 meetings between the two sides and Marco Baroni's side should prevail once again in this one.

Therefore, our main bet will be Lazio win @ 1.50
