Will the Rossoblù slide deeper into crisis against a formidable opponent?
Cagliari Calcio got off to a good start with seven out of a possible twelve points, but then slipped down the table. The Sardinians have only picked up two out of a possible 15 points from their last five league games. And now, of all times, they face a genuine bogey team.
The Rossoblù have not won any of their last 20 matches against the capital club (three draws, 17 defeats). So, Lazio Rome vs. Cagliari looks like a good bet for a home win for the Aquile, even though the Biancocelesti have not always had it easy recently.
Lazio Rome defeated record champions Juventus Turin 1-0 in their last Serie A home game. On Thursday evening, however, the capital city team could not get past a completely sobering 0-0 draw with promoted Pisa. Despite their defensive compactness, the offense repeatedly lacked killer instinct. Against the Rossoblù, who, despite their own offensive problems, have conceded “only” twelve goals in nine league games, it will not be easy to score, which is why we would not categorically rule out a result like 0-0. Our main recommendation, the match combo on the double chance 1X with under 3.5 goals, therefore includes this possibility.
After all, there shouldn’t be too many goals at the Stadio Olimpico. Two of Lazio Rome’s last three Serie A games ended in goalless draws. The other game was the aforementioned 1-0 win against Juve. This means that the Biancocelesti have scored only one goal in their last three league games. Considering that the visitors from Sardinia have conceded only five goals in four away games, the neutral tip that a maximum of two goals will be scored in the Eternal City makes perfect sense.
Lazio Rome – Cagliari Head-to-head record
Head to head: 47 – 17 – 21
A total of 85 matches have been played between the two teams so far, with Lazio Rome leading the head-to-head record very clearly with 47 wins. Not only have the Biancocelesti won all of their last five Serie A matches against Cagliari Calcio, they are also unbeaten in 20 matches against the Rossoblù (17 wins, three draws). The Sardinians last won away at the Aquile more than 16 years ago in October 2009.
Lazio Rome – Cagliari Tip
The top betting providers are clearly favoring the in-form Aquile in Lazio Rome vs. Cagliari, who haven’t lost in five league games (two wins, three draws) and have kept three consecutive clean sheets. However, it should be noted that the Biancocelesti could only manage a 0-0 draw against Pisa on Thursday evening and have struggled to score goals recently. Although tip 1 – available in the Bet365 app at odds of 1.60 – is basically in the value range, there are certain risks involved here, as another 0-0 draw would not be completely out of the question, especially in view of the absences of Cancellieri and Castellanos.
Accordingly, the prediction for Lazio Rome vs. Cagliari is double chance 1X with under 3.5 goals, which also covers a possible 0-0 and takes into account the fact that there are unlikely to be too many goals at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening. This match combo can be played at Betano at odds of 1.55, with us investing eight out of ten units in this tip.
