Lazio’s unbeaten league record and home numbers give them the stronger statistical platform, but Cagliari’s away results and D. Maldini’s 5 goals offer a clear test.
Before kickoff
Can Cagliari’s away record offset Lazio’s stronger season? The evidence favours Lazio before Sunday’s Serie A meeting: the provisional standings place them second on 25 points from 9 games, while Cagliari are 10th on 13 points from 9 games. Lazio are 12 points ahead, although league leaders Inter also have 25 points.

Lazio’s most recent 9-match sequence is Win, Win, Win, Draw, Win, Win, Win, Win, Win. Cagliari’s corresponding 9-match sample is Win, Loss, Win, Win, Win, Draw, Loss, Loss, Loss.
