The Laziali
At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Lazio have an inviting opportunity to register their fourth win of the season when they host Cagliari on Monday.
From a historical standpoint, the numbers tell the story of a one-sided affair, with the Biancocelesti winning 17 of the last 20 meetings, while the Isolani haven’t prevailed in this fixture since 2013, when Lazio let their guard down on the final day of the season.
Nevertheless, all these records vanish when the contest kicks off, as the outcome will be determined by the 22 men on the pitch, and the battles that will ensue between them. So let’s take a closer look at five key duels we expect to ensue on Monday.
