AS Roma – Cagliari

AS Roma head into the clash at the Stadio Olimpico as the league’s third‑placed side, sitting on 17 points from five wins and two draws and boasting a 16‑3 goal difference. Their opponents, Cagliari, sit seventh with 13 points after four victories, a draw and two defeats, and a modest 6‑7 tally on the scoresheet. Roma’s defensive solidity, reflected in conceding just three goals, will be tested by Cagliari’s occasional attacking spark, though the Sardinian side has struggled to find the net, managing fewer than one goal per game. A win for the hosts would widen the gap to the top, while a point for Cagliari could tighten the battle for European spots.
