Cagliari vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (10 February)

Back in the elite this season, Cagliari is struggling to get up to speed and today occupies 19th place in Serie A with 1 point behind the first non-relegation team. The Sardinians are still able to avoid the decline but they are moving slowly these days, as evidenced by the only success acquired during the last 8 days, for 2 draws and 5 defeats. After winning, to everyone's surprise, against Bologna 2-1, they lost in turn against Frosinone 3-1, Torino 1-2 and Roma last Monday 4-0. Less to their advantage compared to in the previous financial year, Lazio is currently 9th in Serie A. If securing a European jump seat is still accessible, 2 points behind 6th place, qualifying for the next Champions League appears more difficult, 5 units of expenditure out of the Top 4.

Last weekend, the Biancocelesti performed poorly by losing to Atalanta 3-1. They thus ended a good series of 5 matches without defeat in the championship: 4 victories and 1 draw. On Wednesday, Lazio will face Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

For this meeting, Cagliari still cannot count on the long-term absent midfielder Rog, the former manager Mancosu (35 years old), the replacement striker Shomurodov and the important midfielders Oristanio and Sulemana, all insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Defender Hatzidiakos is added to the list of packages. The Angolan striker Luvombo (3 goals and 2 assists in SA) however returned to the group on the last day after his elimination from the CAN.

Little used this season, attacking midfielder Pereiro (Ternana) left as did defenders Goldaniga (Como, 13 games in the first part of the season) and Capradossi (Lecco). On the other hand, the team was strengthened with the arrivals of defender Yerry Mina (Fiorentina) and midfielder Gaetano (Naples).
