Lazio form and stats

Lazio have only played one Serie A game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 13 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from 19 matches.

No payout for Lazio in their previous match, an away game at Galatasaray that ended in defeat 0-1. Manuel Lazzari was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.4 out of 10. The defender Lazzari won 8 of 11 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Milan in the Serie A.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lazio as they are travelling to their away game against Torino in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.

Cagliari form and stats

Cagliari have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie A were 4 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats from 19 fixtures.

Cagliari's previous game was their home loss versus Genoa (2-3). A huge disappointment for Cagliari in their last match (vs Genoa). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Luca Ceppitelli, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.11. Ceppitelli scored one goal and won 3 of 6 duels.

Prior to that match, the Cagliari manager L. Semplici faced defeat when travelling to Milan and losing 1-4.

A quick return to home after this game, as Cagliari are hosting Empoli in the Serie A only three days away.

Cagliari have the goal stats of 1-4 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the prior ten meetings featuring these two squads are: eight wins for Lazio, two draws and zero wins for Cagliari. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
