Lazio Recover Key Midfielder Ahead of Cagliari Clash
Sarri Set to Welcome Back Milinkovic-Savic
Lazio have received a major boost ahead of their Serie A clash against Cagliari, with the news that key midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is set to return from injury. The Serbian international missed the Biancocelesti's last two matches due to a muscle problem, but he has now recovered and is expected to start against Cagliari on Sunday.
Milinkovic-Savic is a crucial player for Lazio, and his return will be a major boost to Maurizio Sarri's side. The 27-year-old is one of the best midfielders in Serie A, and he is capable of controlling the tempo of the game, creating chances for his teammates, and scoring goals. His return will give Lazio a much-needed boost in creativity and attacking threat.
Cagliari Struggling for Form
Cagliari, meanwhile, are struggling for form and are currently just one point above the relegation zone. The Sardinians have lost their last three matches, and they have only won one of their last five games. They will need to improve their form if they want to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
Lazio will be confident of victory against Cagliari, but they will need to be wary of their opponents' counter-attacking threat. Cagliari have some dangerous players in attack, including Joao Pedro and Leonardo Pavoletti, and they will be looking to exploit any weaknesses in the Lazio defence.
Prediction
Lazio are the clear favourites to win this match. They have a better squad, they are in better form, and they are playing at home. Cagliari will need to produce a major upset if they want to get anything from this game.
Predicted score: Lazio 2-0 Cagliari
