The action in Serie A rounds off this weekend on Monday evening, as Roma bid to enhance their chances of finishing in a Champions League spot by claiming maximum points at home against relegation-threatened Cagliari.
Serie A Preview
It has been a very busy period for AS Roma, with the Italian club making the decision to part company with Jose Mourinho following a poor run of results. The decision seemed strange at the time, but it is one that has been vindicated following an upturn in fortunes in recent weeks.
Roma come into this round of matches sitting fifth in the standings, and they are just a point off the Champions League spots after winning each of their previous two matches. Interestingly, only the top four sides have recorded more wins than Roma this term, and they were very professional when landing maximum points against Salernitana last weekend. Paulo Dybala opened the scoring for Roma from the penalty spot in that away match, before the game-clinching effort was netted by Lorenzo Pellegrini.
This is a tricky fixture for Cagliari in Serie A this weekend, as the Italian side continues to sit in the relegation places after winning just four games in 22 outings this term. They currently have one of the worst defensive records in the competition after allowing 38 goals, while they will also need more from their attacking players after scoring just 21 goals.
Cagliari come into this Monday night showdown in Rome after losing each of their last two matches in the competition. Their most recent defeat was suffered against Torino, with Cagliari trailing 2-0 at half time in that fixture. Despite registering 25 shots, their effort in the closing stages from Nicolas Viola was their only goal.
Roma vs Cagliari Head to Head
Roma has recorded victories in their last three matches against Cagliari in the league, which includes a 4-1 success on the road in the reverse meeting. Cagliari’s latest win against Roma was a 3-2 home success in April 2021, but that remains their only win in 17 Serie A clashes with the side from Rome.
Roma vs Cagliari Prediction
Roma have a very dominant record in this fixture, and their season appears to be back on track after recording victories in each of their last two matches in the competition. It looks a safe bet to presume that their winning run will be maintained against Cagliari on Monday evening.
