Recapture will be the watchword in the Unipol Domus postponement between a Cagliari side that after three useful results in a row stopped again, surrendering 2-0 to Torino, and a Lazio side that woke up too late against Fiorentina (1-2), losing a delicate direct clash in view of fourth place. In the standings, however, not much has changed: the Sardinians continue to have a slight margin over the relegation zone but remain in the middle of the tussle, the Capitolini on the other hand kept their fourth place, also taking advantage of Juve’s defeat in Napoli (the Bianconeri in case of victory could have overtaken Marco Baroni’s team).
Davide Nicola, coach of the Rossoblù, spoke of fatigue after the knockout with the Granata: despite a good Caprile – the extreme defender arrived in this market session from Napoli was by far the best on the field – Cagliari suffered from the physicality of Toro, which was then able to maximize thanks to a double by the Scot Adams. Probably the performance offered by Lazio against the violets was also affected by the fatigues of the double commitment: in the last two weeks the biancocelesti have been engaged in the Europa League, playing the last two matches (Real Sociedad, Braga) of the single group phase. And last Thursday’s defeat in Portugal (1-0) was painless, since Baroni and his men still finished in first place, a position that will allow them to play directly in the round of 16 and also be top of the league.
Cagliari-Lazio: the latest news on the lineups
Nicola is grappling with the usual doubt: who will play in the three-quarter? Gaetano or Viola? The former Napoli man seems to have the advantage for now but the duel remains alive. No dice for Luvumbo: the Angolan will not return even against the biancocelesti. The other ballot is in midfield, where Adopo and Deiola are competing for a shirt.
In Lazio, the main change from the challenge with Fiorentina will be the return from 1′ of Rovella, flanked in the midfield by Dele-Bashiru. Baroni, as in the cup, will not have Guendouzi, struggling with flu, available. Up front Isaksen, Dia and Zaccagni behind Castellanos but watch out for Pedro’s odds, which seem to be soaring.

The Prediction
From the last five trips to Sardinia, Lazio has always come back with the three points in their pockets: in this partial, by the way, the biancocelesti have scored 12 total goals and conceded only 3. What’s more, the streak of positive results against the Rossoblù was extended to 19 after last November’s 2-1 victory at the Stadio Olimpico. The record, therefore, suggests giving confidence to Baroni’s team: in our opinion, however, Lazio’s victory – between cup fatigues and a moment of slight downturn – is not so obvious and it would not be a surprise if the Sardinians manage to score at least one goal.
Cagliari-Lazio’s likely lineups
CAGLIARI (4-2-3-1): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Makoumbou, Adopo; Zortea, Gaetano, Felici; Piccoli.
LAZIO (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Dele-Bashiru, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos.
