The tenth round of the Serie A season sees Lazio host Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. This fixture is significant for both teams as they look to build momentum and improve their respective positions in the league table. For the home side, a victory is crucial to remain in the hunt for European qualification spots, while Cagliari will be aiming for a vital away result to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Lazio, under the guidance of Maurizio Sarri, have shown flashes of their quality but have struggled for consistency in the opening stages of the campaign. The visitors, coached by Fabio Pisacane, have demonstrated resilience but need to translate positive performances into maximum points. The anticipation for this encounter revolves around whether the Biancocelesti can find their clinical edge or if the Rossoblu can defy their poor historical record at the Stadio Olimpico.

Team Form and Analysis for Lazio
Domestic Form and European Performance
Lazio currently sit in a mid-table position, reflecting their mixed start to the domestic season. Their recent form shows a pattern of inconsistency, punctuated by key results. A recent gritty 1-0 home victory over Juventus was followed by a disappointing goalless draw away to newly promoted Pisa, demonstrating their struggle to maintain a high level week to week. Overall, the team has managed to extend an unbeaten streak to five league games, indicating improved defensive solidity with three consecutive clean sheets.
Key Player for Lazio: Mattia Zaccagni
Winger Mattia Zaccagni remains one of the most important creative and attacking outlets for the team. His trickery, pace, and ability to both score and create goals are vital for Sarri’s system, especially with the current injury concerns up front. His performance on the flank will be instrumental in unlocking a resilient Cagliari defence.
Team Form and Analysis for Cagliari
Domestic Form and European Performance
Cagliari are positioned just above the bottom three, and their primary objective remains survival. Their form has been challenging, managing just two wins from their opening nine matches. Despite a recent 2-1 defeat to Sassuolo, they can draw confidence from their away record. The Rossoblu have only lost once on the road this season, and notably, they have scored in their last three away league matches, suggesting they are not easily subdued outside of Sardinia.
Key Player for Cagliari: Yerry Mina
The veteran defender Yerry Mina is a crucial figure in the Cagliari backline. His physical presence, aerial dominance, and experience provide much-needed leadership. The Colombian’s ability to engage in physical battles and disrupt opposition forwards will be paramount in limiting the impact of Lazio’s attack, particularly target man Boulaye Dia.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
The historical record between Lazio and Cagliari heavily favours the Roman club. This fixture has been a struggle for the islanders for many years, a trend that the current team will be desperate to reverse.
Lazio are currently unbeaten in 20 top-flight games against Cagliari, a dominant streak spanning over a decade. Looking at recent encounters, Lazio have won their last four league meetings, and in the last eight Serie A head-to-head matches where Lazio scored at least one goal, they did not lose, winning seven of those. The last match in February 2025 ended in a 2-1 victory for Lazio.
Players to Watch
Lazio
Boulaye Dia: The striker is still finding his rhythm this season but has a strong record against Cagliari, having scored three goals in as many Serie A games against them. His duel against the physical Cagliari centre-backs will be a deciding factor.
Matteo Guendouzi: The French midfielder brings energy and aggression to the centre of the park. His box-to-box presence and ability to drive forward are key to linking the midfield and attack.
Cagliari
Michael Folorunsho: Operating in an attacking midfield role, Folorunsho’s dynamism and ball-carrying ability can pose problems on the counter-attack. He is one of the players expected to create chances for the forward line.
Sebastiano Esposito: Expected to partner Gennaro Borrelli up front, Esposito carries the responsibility of converting the limited opportunities Cagliari creates. His movement and finishing ability will be tested against a tight Lazio defence.
Prediction
Lazio are battling through a challenging period marked by injuries to key attacking players like Valentin Castellanos, which has forced a more pragmatic approach from coach Sarri. This has resulted in a focus on defensive stability, yielding multiple clean sheets. While Cagliari’s away form has been respectable, their appalling historical record at the Stadio Olimpico, coupled with the absence of key forward Andrea Belotti due to injury, makes this a daunting fixture.
Lazio’s superior quality, particularly in midfield and the wide attacking areas, combined with their strong home record in this specific fixture, should be enough to secure a hard-fought victory. The game is likely to be a tight affair, settled by a moment of quality or a set-piece.
Score Prediction: Lazio 1-0 Cagliari
