Rome lost 0-1 to Udinese in their last away match, marking their third straight game without a win and showing a decline in form. The team is currently plagued by injuries, as last season’s top scorer Artem Dovbyk continues to be unavailable, along with Paulo Dybala, Stephan El Shaarawy, Evan Ferguson, and Robinio Vaz, significantly limiting their attacking options. Additionally, Mario Hermoso, Manu Koné, and Gianluca Mancini have also missed games due to injuries. Undoubtedly, the loss of key players has reduced Roma’s overall strength. However, they remain the best defensive team in Serie A, having conceded only 14 goals in 23 league matches, making their defense formidable.
Cagliari, on the other hand, secured a 4-0 home victory against Werna in their last match, achieving three consecutive league wins. During this streak, Cagliari has notably defeated both Juventus and Fiorentina, showcasing their competitiveness. Statistically, Cagliari has scored 28 goals but conceded 31, indicating a strong attacking force but some defensive vulnerabilities. Their defense has shown weaknesses, particularly in set-piece situations, where they struggle with aerial duels and positioning, which is their biggest defensive flaw. Additionally, Cagliari’s away performance has been relatively poor, with only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 away league matches.
Historically, Roma has an impressive unbeaten record of 8 wins and 2 draws in their last 10 home matches against Cagliari, giving them a significant advantage playing at home. Although the two teams are currently in different forms, considering the overall strength and stability in both attack and defense, Roma appears to be superior to Cagliari. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect Roma to rebound with a victory in this match.
