Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Lazio have been in good form as of late. They have won four out of their last five games and the game they lost was only a 1-0 loss to Juventus. Cagliari on the other hand are only two places above the relegation zone, a poor start compared to usual. The retirement of Claudio Raineri clearly affecting them at lot more then they would have thought at the start of the season.

Predicted Line-Up: Ivan Provedel; Luca Pellegrini, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, Adam Marusic; Mattéo Guendouzi, Matías Vecino; Tijani Noslin, Pedro, Gustav Isaksen; Valentín Castellanos

After finishing second in the 2022/23 season, last year’s seventh place was a bit disappointing. However, Lazio are in a similar position at the moment as they are currently standing in sixth place in the Serie A standings after 10 games. Six wins, three losses and just the one draw leaves them with 19 points, only three points behind second placed Inter Milan. Lazio have been great at finding the back of the net in these opening matches, scoring 22 goals.

Le AquileI are missing a vital player in Nuno Tavares in this match. The Arsenal loanee has been on fire this season, providing eight assists from the eight Serie A appearances he has made. He picked up a second yellow in Lazio’s previous domestic match against Como so Tavares will have to serve his punishment now. Young and talented midfielder Nicolò Rovella is also out but that is through a thigh issue.

Cagliari Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Simone Scuffet; Adam Obert, Sebastiano Luperto, José Luis Palomino, Gbriele Zappa; Gianluca Gaetano, Răzvan Marin, Matteo Prati, Nadir Zortea; Nicolas Viola, Roberto Piccoli

Cagliari have been a team on the up the last couple of years. In the past two seasons they have gone from the second tier in Italian football into the topflight and surviving relegation by a single point come the final day of the season last year. Cagliari now have a new manager though and they currently stand in 16th after 10 games. Two wins, five losses and three draws has left them with nine points. They are struggling to put goals out the back of the net, only amassing eight goals so far whilst conceding 17 goals at the same time.

Rossoblù need to find themselves a permanent goalscorer fast because out of the five different goalscorers that they have had, only two have scored twice this season. They are Roberto Piccoli and Răzvan Marin. Thankfully for Cagliari fans, they are both expected to be included in the starting lineup and we will have to wait until Monday to see what they can do.
