The Serie A is back in action with another important fixture this weekend as Lazio take on Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Lazio have an excellent squad and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Cagliari are currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings and face an intense relegation battle in the coming months. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Sassuolo last weekend and will have to put in a similar performance in this match.
Lazio have improved in recent weeks and thrashed Atalanta by a 3-1 margin in their previous game. The Biancocelesti are in sixth place in the league table and will want to move into the top four this month.
Lazio vs Cagliari Head-to-Head
Lazio have an excellent record against Cagliari and have won 21 matches out of a total of 35 games played between the two sides. Cagliari have managed only seven victories against Lazio and will need to be at their best this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two sides took place in September last year and ended in a 2-0 victory for Lazio. Ciro Immobile found the back of the net on the day and will play an important role in this match.
