Cagliari will host Lazio in their upcoming Serie A 2024-25 match on February 4. The hosts will be looking to give a proper fight to Lazio as they are near the relegation zone and a win is necessary for them at this point. Lazio on the other hand are doing well and comfortably sitting in the fourth spot.
Cagliari faced a defeat in their last Serie A fixture which was against Torino. Although they had a good amount of ball possession with themselves their attack completely failed and they were unable to score a goal. The coming game is an important one and they will be looking to grab three points.
Lazio have been doing well but fell prey to Fiorentina in their last Serie A outing. They failed to secure three points here. With a win in their upcoming league fixture, they can stay in the top four comfortably but a win or a draw here will put pressure on them for the coming matches.
Having scored five goals in 22 league matches for Cagliari, Roberto Piccoli is going to play a crucial role for his side in their upcoming fixture against Lazio. He should play some attacking football which will eventually help his side put some goals on the scoresheet. He will be a threat to the opponent’s defence if not stopped on time.
The Argentinian forward will be looking to be impactful for Lazio once again. Valentin Castellanos has seven goals and a single assist to his name in 19 matches. He will be their first choice forward to start with. His teammates will look to help him create proper spaces in the opponent’s defence if they want to grab those three points.
Lazio are unbeaten in their last 19 Serie A matches against Cagliari. Cagliari have lost each of their last five home matches against Lazio in the league. They have also lost nine games without scoring in the league this season.
Cagliari will be without the services of a couple of their players, namely Zito Luvumbo and Giuseppe Ciocci because they are currently injured. Zito Luvumbo does have a chance to return for their match against Lazio, however, there is no official confirmation.
Nuno Tavares, Matteo Guendouzi, Manuel Lazzari, Patric and Matias Vecino will not be in action for Lazio because of their injuries.
