Head-to-head statistics Roma - Cagliari
Roma Team Overview
Roma approaches the upcoming clash with a terrible mood. The team, which has recently been demonstrating very high-quality football and managed to achieve a streak of 6 consecutive wins, unexpectedly got knocked out of the Europa League. Recently, the "wolves" lost away to Athletic (1-3) and could have lost by a larger margin. However, it should be noted that the match scenario was significantly affected by Mats Hummels' red card, which was received as early as the 11th minute. With equal line-ups, Claudio Ranieri's squad could have maintained the advantage gained in the first leg (2-1). Therefore, this result should not be taken seriously when choosing a bet. As for the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 2 players, including the main central defender Zeki Celik (injury).
Match Results: Roma
Cagliari Calcio Team Overview
Cagliari, in turn, continues to search for ways out of an emotional slump. The team performed poorly in the last 4 matches, earning only 2 points. Last weekend, for example, the "islanders" couldn't capitalize on their home advantage and drew with Genoa (1-1). Moreover, Davide Nicola's side statistically didn't even deserve a point - just 1 shot on goal, 0.65 xG, and 1 created scoring chance at the opponent's goal (compared to 3 for the opponent). Yes, even with these results, Cagliari remains in fourteenth place; however, a 4-point gap from the relegation zone cannot be considered comfortable. Regarding the upcoming clash, the participation of 2 players is in question, including Zito Luvumbo, who sustained another injury.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Recently, Roma has been playing very effectively, especially in home matches. In 11 of the last 12 games at their home ground, the "Wolves" have found the key to their opponents' goal at least twice. The exception was the match against formidable Napoli (1-1), where Claudio Ranieri decided to field a reserve lineup. Considering that Cagliari is inferior to the team from Rome in all aspects, a bet on Roma's total goals over 1.5 should succeed without any issues.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
Despite a noticeable decline in Cagliari's quality of play, the team continues to maintain its position in the top-5 of the Serie A table for the number of corners earned. The "Islanders" take corner kicks an average of 5 times per game, with only Inter, Milan, Napoli, and Lazio having higher numbers. Considering Roma's open style of play, Davide Nicola's team will clearly have enough chances to conduct their quick counterattacks. In this situation, a bet on Cagliari's total corners over 2.5 seems like the most reliable option.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers believe that in the upcoming clash Roma will easily secure 3 points and improve their standings without any issues. In this situation, it's hard to argue with this opinion. Excluding the last game against Athletic (1-3), the "Wolves" are in fantastic form. In the Italian Championship, the team hasn't tasted defeat for 12 games, achieving positive results in most cases. The statistics of the "Wolves'" recent home games can drive anyone crazy - 11 wins and 1 draw in 12 matches. Considering Cagliari's not-so-high class of players, the hosts can very well win with a score of 3-0. As the main betting option, we choose Roma's victory.
