Current streaks

Recent form

Lazio

Lazio are enjoying a rich vein of form, with five victories in their last six matches across all competitions. The Biancocelesti have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting an impressive 16 times in this period, averaging 2.67 goals per game. Their defensive solidity is equally noteworthy, conceding just four goals in six matches. A standout result was their recent 5-1 thrashing of Como, showcasing their attacking prowess. Lazio have also demonstrated their European credentials with a convincing 2-0 away win against Twente in the Europa League. Their only blemish in this run was a narrow 1-0 defeat to Serie A giants Juventus. With two clean sheets and 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Lazio are proving to be an exciting team to watch, combining defensive stability with attacking flair.

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team experiencing a downturn after a promising run. They enjoyed a three-match winning streak across all competitions, including an exciting 3-2 victory over Torino and a 3-2 away win against Parma. However, this positive momentum has been halted by two consecutive Serie A losses without scoring. The Sardinian side have shown an ability to be involved in high-scoring affairs, with three of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 16th position in the league, Cagliari have demonstrated resilience, managing to secure a draw against Juventus away from home. Their defensive fragility is evident, having conceded in each of their last five matches and averaging 1.5 goals conceded per game over the six-game period.

Recent home/away form

Lazio

Lazio have been in scintillating form at home, boasting an impressive run of five consecutive victories across all competitions. Their recent performances have been particularly high-scoring, with all six matches featuring over 2.5 goals and an average of 3.67 goals per game. The Biancocelesti have been prolific in front of goal, netting 16 times in their last six home fixtures, whilst maintaining a solid defensive record, conceding only once per match on average. A standout result was their 4-1 thrashing of Nice in the Europa League, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite their strong offensive output, Lazio have managed only one clean sheet in this period, with both teams scoring in 83% of the matches, indicating some room for defensive improvement amidst their otherwise formidable home form.

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches on the road yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite their struggles in the league, sitting 16th with just 9 points from 10 games, the Sardinian side have shown resilience away from home. They've managed to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in five of their last six away fixtures, including a high-scoring 3-2 victory against Parma. Defensively, Cagliari have been somewhat porous, keeping only one clean sheet in this stretch. Their matches tend to be tight affairs, with 67% of their away games featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in half of these encounters, suggesting that while Cagliari are capable of scoring on their travels, they also struggle to shut out their opponents completely.
