Roma vs Cagliari Preview and Team News

Roma Team News

Roma’s six-match winning streak came to an end in the Europa League when the Italians were thrashed by Athletic Bilbao (3-1). By winning the first leg they were the slight favourites to advance. However, after Mats Hummels was sent off in the 11th minute, things spiralled downwards, and Bilbao grabbed the decisive advantage.

With no more European competitions, Claudio Ranieri’s men can focus everything on Serie A, where they are six points adrift of the top four zone. In the last round, they beat Empoli 0-1 in a tense clash and will seek to extend their successful domestic run.

Zeki Celik has a thigh injury and won’t participate in Sunday’s fixture. Otherwise, there are no absentees in Roma’s lineup. 

Roma predicted lineup vs Cagliari (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Ndicka, Mancini, Nelsson; Angeliño, Paredes, Kone, Saelemaekers; Dybala, Soule; Dovbyk.

Cagliari Team News

Cagliari failed to beat Genoa at home last week (1-1), thus extending their Serie A streak to four winless matches. They had a lead from Nicolas Viola’s goal but conceded in the second half.

Now Cagliari are 14th, two points safe from the relegation zone. Nevertheless, the quality of their game is far from ideal. Davide Nicola’s men struggle to create dangerous chances near their opponents’ goal.

Similar to Roma, Cagliari will present a primarily optimal squad. Forward Zito Luvumbo is injured, while Florinel Coman’s participation is questionable. 

Cagliari predicted lineup vs Roma (4-2-3-1): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Marin, Makoumbou; Zortea, Viola, Gaetano; Piccoli.

Roma vs Cagliari Prediction

• Pick: Roma to Win
• Odds: 1.52 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Roma 2-0 Cagliari

The hosts might be in a bad mood following their devastating loss against Bilbao but should be focused on advancing further in the table. They’ll face the team they’ve beaten in seven out of eight home games ( 7W, 1D).

Also, Roma have magnificent home stats in recent fixtures. In the previous 12 encounters, they’ve won 11 across all competitions, while Cagliari have only a single away win in the last 12.

The home squad will want to bounce back, and this is an ideal opportunity for them. They’ll likely dominate throughout the match and get a convincing victory. Our first pick here would be Roma to win. 

Roma vs Cagliari Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.88 (22Bet)

While Cagliari have problems in the offence, we should not underestimate them in the defence, where they managed to keep a clean sheet against formidable Atalanta. They’re usually firmly oriented defensively against stronger opposition.

After a tiresome week, the hosts won’t attack recklessly from the first minute. Instead, they’ll be more positional and look for free space. Cagliari will build their gameplay on counterattacks, and we don’t expect an abundance of dangerous moments.

We anticipate the same scenario as it was against Empoli and the hosts will grab a narrow win. Our second pick for this clash is under 2.5 goals.
