Lazio produced a commanding display against Sassuolo on Wednesday, cruising to a 6-2 victory despite missing two penalties.
That result extended their winning streak in Serie A to five matches and gave them eight victories from their opening nine league fixtures, with just one draw.
The Biancocelesti have also been strong on home soil, collecting three victories and a draw from their four league matches at the Stadio Olimpico.
However, defensive concerns remain, with Lazio managing just one clean sheet in their last 10 home games across all competitions.
Cagliari, meanwhile, return to the capital looking to recover from a disappointing 4-2 defeat against Roma on Tuesday.
That setback marked their third consecutive loss, during which they have conceded ten goals.
Their opening run of four victories, one draw and one defeat had raised expectations, but they could not maintain the momentum.
Their away performances are particularly worrying, having suffered consecutive road defeats while conceding four goals in each.
Another difficult evening against an in-form Lazio side could therefore be on the cards unless Cagliari quickly address their defensive shortcomings.
