Lazio have made a poor start to the Serie A season and need to get another win on the board when struggling Cagliari come calling.
The Roman giants have claimed just three victories in their nine league games so far this season and pressure will mount on boss Maurizio Sarri if results don't pick up soon.
The former Chelsea and Juventus manager was a hit during his first spell at the helm, where he had Lazio rubbing shoulders with the Champions League elite.
That seems a long way off at the moment. although the midweek draw at Pisa did make it five games unbeaten for Sarri's men.
They need to start getting more wins on the board and should get back on track with a victory over a Cagliari side in poor form.
A 2-1 home loss to Sassuolo, which brought up two bets for our man Gabriel, made it five games without a win for Fabio Pisacane's team.
They sit 14th, three points behind Lazio, so it would be a surprise if they took anything from this trip to the Stadio Olimpico.
How the bookies view it: Cagliari written off
With Cagliari in such poor form, BOYLE Sports make them 5/1 outsiders for a win in the Italian capital. Lazio are 1/3 favourites and the draw pays 11/4.
Recent head to head: Lazio romping it
Lazio have been a bogey team for Cagliari, who haven't won in this fixture since 2013. That's a run of 20 matches without defeat for the capital club and they've won the last five.
Players to watch: Zaccagni a threat
Scoring goals has been a problem all season for Lazio but playmaker Mattia Zaccagni has chipped in with two goals. He's 5/2 for anytime scorer at BOYLE Sports and that could be worth a punt.
Cagliari are another team who don't have a regular scorer up front but Gennaro Borrelli should lead the line again. He has netted twice this term and is 4/1 for another goal at the Stadio Olimpico.
Probable line-ups
Striker Boulaye Dia went off at half-time in midweek for Lazio so it will be interesting to see if he starts here. Sarri still has a lengthy injury list with Nuno Tavares, Matteo Cancellieri, Taty Castellanos, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Nicolo Rovella and Samuel Gigot set to miss out.
Cagliari still have former Italy striker Andrea Belotti sidelined while Boris Radunovic, Nicola Pintus and Alessandro Deiola are doubts.
Lazio: Provedel, Pellegrini, Romagnoli, Gila, Marusic, Guendouzi, Basic, Cataldi, Zaccagni, Isaksen, Noslin.
Cagliari: Caprile, Zappa, Ze Pedr, Obert, Palestra, Idrissi, Adop, Prati, Folorunsho, Borrelli, Esposito.
Anything else catch the eye?
Lazio aren't clicking up front and they've only scored once in their last three outings. The good news for Sarri is his side have also kept three successive clean sheets so a Lazio win to nil could pay off at 6/4 with BOYLE Sports.
Given their struggles up front, the 6/5 on offer for a Lazio win with under 3.5 goals also looks pretty decent value.
Cagliari have picked up four cards in each of their last two games so that's another market worth looking at. Over 2.5 Cagliari cards pays a decent 4/5 at Bet365 while backing them at -1 in the card handicap boosts the odds to 15/8.
None of Lazio's home games has hit double figures for corners this season so under 9.5 flag kicks is another good option at 4/5 with BOYLE Sports.
