Lazio vs Cagliari prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-11-03 19:45.
[p]Lazio moved back to within six points of Serie A leaders Napoli after ten matches this season thanks to their impressive 5-1 thrashing of Como on Thursday. That result was the Biancocelesti’s seventh competitive victory in their last eight outings (L1), with each of their last three wins secured by at least a two-goal margin.[/p]
[p]At the Stadio Olimpico, Lazio seem to be unstoppable, as only Napoli have picked up more than their 13 points at home this season in Serie A (W4, D1) ahead of this round of fixtures. The capital club’s 3-0 victory over Genoa last Sunday was their fourth competitive win in a row on their own patch, a run which has seen Marco Baroni’s men score 11 times, while they’ve netted at least twice in all six outings as hosts this term (W5, D1).[/p]
[p]After a rather promising period of four matches unbeaten (W3, D1), which saw Cagliari score eight goals, they have suffered back-to-back defeats ‘to nil’. In fact, only lowly Lecce (seven) have failed to find the net in more Serie A encounters this season than Davide Nicola’s side (six), who start this round just a point above the relegation zone.[/p]
[p]Cagliari’s last away trip ended in a 2-0 defeat against Udinese – their fourth league loss on the road in seven such outings (W2, D1). The Sardinians especially need to improve their starts to games, as they have trailed 1-0 at half-time in three of their four matches on their travels this season, with the exception being their spectacular 3-2 win against Parma.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: After netting a brace at Como, Taty Castellanos has now scored three of his five Serie A goals this term in the opening 30 minutes. Cagliari’s Răzvan Marin has recently put together a four-game scoring run for club or country, converting a penalty in three of those encounters. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Lazio have netted in both halves in four of their six home matches this season, including the last three such games. [/p]
