AS Roma vs. Cagliari - Head-to-head record

Recent history shows a clear pattern of dominance for the home side in matches between AS Roma and Cagliari. In their last ten meetings, Roma won seven times, Cagliari twice, and one game ended in a draw. This highlights a consistent advantage for the Giallorossi.

AS Roma have particularly strong home form in this fixture. They have won their last three games against Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, scoring six goals and conceding none. This includes a 4-0 victory in February 2024, further demonstrating their strength in this matchup.

However, their struggles away from home, particularly in the capital, are evident in the head-to-head stats. These historical results suggest that the visitors will face a significant challenge in Rome.

Head-to-head

AS Roma - Riding a wave of confidence

Here is a closer look at AS Roma’s current situation. We will analyse the team’s strong run of form, their latest results, and how they might approach this upcoming test against Cagliari.

Recent form

AS Roma have had a strong start to their Serie A campaign, currently sitting in third place. They are unbeaten in their last eight league matches, having won five and drawn three. At the Stadio Olimpico, Roma have won three of their four home games, making it a challenging venue for visiting teams.

The Giallorossi’s recent performances highlight their attacking prowess in various competitions. They recently drew 3-3 with Napoli in the league and achieved a commanding 4-0 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava. Despite a turbulent European campaign, their domestic momentum remains strong and they continue to score goals consistently.

Donyell Malen’s prolific form, having scored six goals, is a key factor in their success. With no major injury concerns, Roma boasts a full-strength squad and is aiming to extend its impressive league run.

P. Gollini; Mario Hermoso, E. Ndicka, G. Mancini e Wesley; D. Rensch, N. Pisilli e B. Cristante; M. de Roon, D. Malen e M. Soulé.

Cagliari - Looking to bounce back

Now, let’s turn our attention to Cagliari. We will analyse the team’s recent form, their key players, and what to expect in this game.

Recent form

Cagliari, currently eighth in Serie A, are experiencing a dip in form. They have suffered two consecutive league defeats without scoring, losing 2-0 to Bologna and 4-0 to Monza. Nevertheless, their away form remains a strength, with three wins from four matches on the road this season.

Cagliari’s inconsistency is also evident in their Coppa Italia exit against Verona earlier in the season. Prior to these recent setbacks, they drew with Juventus and secured three consecutive league victories. However, their defence has conceded nine goals in eight Serie A games, a weakness that AS Roma could exploit.

Daniel Maldini is spearheading the attack with four goals. Cagliari will travel to Rome with a fully fit squad, which gives them a chance to bounce back. However, their recent heavy defeats raise questions about their current momentum.

Results of the last five matches

Probable line-up for Cagliari

E. Caprile; A. Obert, J. Rodríguez, Zé Pedro e A. Deiola; A. Romano, H. Winks e M. Adopo; Y. Massolin, D. Maldini e P. Mendy.

Predictions for AS Roma vs. Cagliari - Home side to dominate

AS Roma are in formidable form, remaining unbeaten in Serie A and showcasing a potent attack. Their high-scoring games suggest this encounter could see over 2.5 goals, with a winner emerging.

Cagliari arrive on the back of two heavy defeats, and their defensive frailties will be tested. Given Roma’s strong starts at home, there is a good chance the hosts will be leading at half-time.

Considering Roma’s superior quality, current momentum, and historical dominance in this fixture, our main prediction is a victory for the home side, who should control the game from the start.
