Cagliari vs Lazio
The Serie A committee only prepared one match between Cagliari vs Lazio. They met in giornata 16 which was said to be the most entertaining party this week. The host is trying to maximize the Sardegna Arena’s public support for profit.
Last Sunday (12/12) they got an assignment to the Sassuolo drum and managed to bring a 2-2 draw thanks to Daniele Ragatzu’s late goal in the 90th minute. Although minimal, this result is enough to help Cagliari keep an unbeaten record since September, now 9 wins and 5 draws in Serie A and Coppa Italia.
Lazio just got a crash out of the Europa League stage. This happened after they lost 2-0 at the Rennes headquarters last Friday (13/12). The visit to France made them only landed in Group 3 with 12 points from CFR Cluj as runner up.
Apart from that calamity, Lazio haven’t lost in Serie A since September, precisely with 8 wins and 2 draws. This achievement also helped them rank in the top 3 with 33 points, four points ahead of Cagliari below. Therefore, the midweek visit will be a crucial period for each team.
Lazio confirmed without three names, namely Adam Marusic, Patric, and Jordan Lukaku who were all injured, while Cagliari was left by four names for the same reason, the rest Marko Rog and Robin Olsen will undergo red card sanctions.
The history of the meeting called Lazio as the top team with the last 6 parties without defeat, 4 wins. However, this trip will certainly be more difficult because the host is on fire and has a more flexible schedule.
