On Monday, Lazio will be keen to extend their undefeated run of five fixtures when they host Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
In the league table, the two sides are only separated by three points. However, the Biancocelesti enjoy an immense historical advantage, especially in recent decades. So let’s take a look at the numbers behind this fixture.
Lazio are unbeaten in their 20 Serie A meetings with Cagliari, emerging victorious on the last five occasions. Overall, the two sides met 76 times in the Italian top flight, with the Biancocelesti coming out on top on 42 occasions. On the other hand, Cagliari only hold 17 wins over the Italian capital side, with 17 other fixtures ending in draws.
The Aquile have also outscored the Sardinians 115-69. Ciro Immobile is unsurprisingly the all-time top goal-scorer in this fixture, as he managed to find the back of the net 11 times against the Isolani. Fellow Lazio legends Giuseppe Signori and Giorgio Chinaglia complete the podium, with seven strikes apiece.
Lazio have beaten Cagliari in 25 of their 38 Serie A meetings at home. On the other hand, the Rossoblu have only seven away wins, and the two sides have shared the spoils on six occasions.
