Head-to-head statistics Cagliari - Roma
Cagliari Calcio Team Overview
🔴 Cagliari haven't tasted victory in over two months, clinging above the relegation zone only due to even poorer performances from their direct competitors. The team sits in 15th place with 11 points from 13 matches, but the gap to the danger zone has shrunk to just one point, making the situation increasingly precarious.
🔵 Nonetheless, Cagliari can't be accused of inaction; they're striving to end this prolonged negative streak. In the previous round, they narrowly lost to Juventus (1-2), showing a commendable level of fight. Then, in the Coppa Italia, they pushed Napoli to a penalty shootout (1-1, pens. 9-8), where luck decided the outcome. Impressively, the "Islanders" played both matches away from home.

Roma Team Overview
🔴 Roma continue to maintain a high level of performance, solidifying their status as one of the main contenders for a top-four finish. The team have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, showcasing consistency and confidence in their play. The only setback came last weekend in a key Serie A fixture, where the Giallorossi fell at home to the reigning champions (0-1). The match was fairly balanced: Roma controlled possession more (56% to 44%), but the visitors created slightly more dangerous chances, making the final result anything but a fluke.
🟡 This defeat immediately dropped the Romans from first to fourth place. However, the top of the table is so tightly contested that a single victory could propel them back to the summit. They trail league leaders Milan by just one point, and any successful outing could instantly shift the balance of power.

Latest news
Cagliari Calcio
📣 Cagliari head coach Fabio Pisacane, following a 1-1 draw with Napoli and a dramatic exit from the Coppa Italia on penalties (8-9), expressed pride in his players and called the match in Naples a turning point for the team: "A great response from my team; coming here and playing with such character and commitment is a sign that we're on the right track. This match should be a starting point for us." The coach noted that Cagliari are gradually overcoming their uncertainties and believes in maintaining their Serie A status: "There was some initial timidity, but with this kind of character, we will definitely survive. We know exactly what our goal is, and this game brings us even closer to it."
🚫 Cagliari still face significant personnel issues. Mattia Felici is out for the season due to an ACL injury, while Andrea Belotti is undergoing a lengthy recovery and won't return to the field until at least early April 2026. Luca Mazzitelli is treating a muscle injury and is expected to be back in mid-December. There are also doubts over the participation of Yerry Mina and Ze Pedro due to illness and a knee injury, respectively.
Roma
📣 Roma's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini admitted that his team underperformed in their home defeat to Napoli (0-1): "We just didn't do well enough to block their counterattacks... Napoli didn't have many chances, but they made them count. We're disappointed, but as with victories, we need to look ahead and keep working." The coach noted that the European match might have influenced the game: "It's unfortunate we allowed such a counterattack. Perhaps Thursday's match took a greater toll than we anticipated-the ball wasn't moving as swiftly as usual."
🚫 Roma's injury list remains short. Edoardo Bove is still unavailable due to heart issues. Artem Dovbyk will be sidelined until mid-December as he recovers from a thigh injury.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
The standout strength of the current Roma squad is undoubtedly their defense. After 13 rounds, they've conceded just 7 goals, the best record in Serie A. Even more impressively, the "Giallorossi" are more solid on the road, allowing only 3 goals compared to 4 at home. Cagliari, on the other hand, are far from their best form and often struggle to convert chances. In this context, betting on Cagliari not to score seems like a well-founded option.
🚩 Corner Predictions
Roma lead Serie A in terms of attacking plays, averaging 107.3 per match, while Cagliari sit at the bottom with just 70.2. This makes sense: the "Giallorossi" consistently play from a position of strength, applying pressure and maintaining possession, whereas the "Islanders" spend most of their time defending. In the upcoming match, this scenario is unlikely to change-Roma are expected to dominate and create more dangerous opportunities at the opponent's end. Therefore, betting on Roma to win the corner count appears to be a reasonable choice.
Editors' Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Roma are the clear favorites for the upcoming match, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. Cagliari are in dreadful form; while they are trying to fight, victories have been elusive and their position in the standings is worsening. The Wolves, on the other hand, look confident, and only a recent defeat to Napoli (0-1) slightly dampened their spirits, but such setbacks often boost motivation. Therefore, our bet is on a Roma victory. We expect to see a scoreline of 0-1 on the board.
