Lazio vs. Cagliari: Preview and Prediction
Top-of-the-table Lazio will look to continue their winning start to the season when they host relegation-threatened Cagliari on Saturday.
Lazio have won their opening two matches of the campaign, scoring seven goals and conceding none, while Cagliari have lost both of their games without scoring.
The Biancocelesti will be confident of extending their winning run against a Cagliari side who have failed to win any of their last five Serie A matches.
Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri is likely to make few changes to the side that beat Torino 4-0 last weekend, with Ciro Immobile, Felipe Anderson, and Luis Alberto all set to start.
Cagliari coach Alessandro Agostini is expected to make more changes to his team following their 2-0 defeat to Empoli.
Nahitan Nández and Leonardo Pavoletti are both doubts for the match, while Keita Baldé is suspended.
Lazio are strong favorites to win this match, but Cagliari will be desperate to get their first points of the season.
The Sardinians have a good record at the Stadio Olimpico, having won three of their last five visits.
However, Lazio have won their last two home matches against Cagliari, and they will be confident of adding to that tally on Saturday.
