Lazio
Dias is suspended, so Diakitè will take his spot as centre-back. Klose got injured during training, so Kozak could partner Rocchi up front. Reja was thinking about moving to a 4-3-1-2 before the German striker
picked up his injury, but now the coach may have changed his mind.
probable lineups : Marchetti, Radu, Diakite, Biava, Scaloni, Mauri, Ledesma, Gonzalez, Hernanes, Rocchi, Kozak. (4-3-1-2).

Cagliari
Ekdal will replace Dessena, who is injured, in the midfield. Thiago Ribeiro, Larrivey and Ibarbo are in contention to partner Pinilla, while Cossu should be safe to play. Ariaudo is set to play as centre-back, due to Canini's suspension.

Prediction
In a very opposite moment to their city rivals, Lazio have lost two
matches in a row after their success in the derby, and even though
Udinese dropped some points as well recently, the race for the third
place has been joined by Napoli, who look like favourites now that they
are out of the Champions League.
Cagliari have dropped concentration recently, and as a consequence they
lost three matches in a row before winning against Cesena. The away team
must be careful to avoid being involved in the relegation fight, as
they showed in the first part of the season they could deserve a better
position in the table.
Despite still having a 1-point gap on Napoli, Lazio must feel the
pressure from the Partenopei's comeback. Therefore, coach Reja is likely
to push from the first minute to prevent Cagliari from managing the
match and slowing the tempo down. If Klose doesn't get better before the
match, then the manager will also have to find a different attacking
solution.
Lazio 1 - 1 Cagliari
