The database contains 5 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Lazio won 2–1 against Cagliari. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 0.99 for Lazio and 1.08 for Cagliari. Cagliari generated the higher xG total. Lazio scored +1.01 goals relative to xG and Cagliari scored -0.08 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Lazio registered 11 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 36.4%); Cagliari recorded 9 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (65.8%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
