Lazio vs. Cagliari: Preview and Broadcast
Lazio Looking to Bounce Back from Derby Defeat
Lazio will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing 3-1 defeat to Roma in the Derby della Capitale when they host Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday afternoon. The Biancocelesti have now lost three of their last four league games and will be keen to get back to winning ways against a Cagliari side who are fighting for their Serie A survival.
Maurizio Sarri's team has been in poor form of late, and their defeat to Roma was their third in their last four league games. They have also lost their last two home matches in all competitions and will need to improve their record at the Stadio Olimpico if they want to challenge for a top-four finish this season.
Cagliari Battling to Avoid Relegation
Cagliari, meanwhile, are in a desperate fight to avoid relegation. The Rossoblu are currently 18th in the Serie A table, just one point above the relegation zone. They have lost their last three league games and have conceded 11 goals in that time.
However, Cagliari did get a boost in their last outing when they defeated Hellas Verona 2-1 in the Coppa Italia. That victory will have given them some confidence ahead of their trip to Rome, and they will be hoping to cause an upset against Lazio.
Team News
Lazio will be without the suspended Francesco Acerbi and the injured Ciro Immobile for the game against Cagliari. Adam Marusic is also a doubt with a knock.
Cagliari have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their trip to Rome.

Prediction
Lazio will be the favorites to win this game, but Cagliari will be no pushovers. The Rossoblu are fighting for their Serie A survival, and they will be desperate to get a result against Lazio. However, the Biancocelesti should have too much quality for Cagliari, and I predict a 2-0 win for the home team.
