Roma Look to Dominate Cagliari at the Olimpico
AS Roma occupy third place after seven Serie A matches and have collected two wins in their last five outings. At home they average 2.5 goals scored while conceding just 0.8, and they have kept five clean sheets from seven league games. Cagliari sit eighth and average only 0.9 goals scored per game, with two matches where they failed to find the net. In the last ten head-to-head meetings Roma have won seven, which gives them a strong historical edge at the Olimpico. Although Cagliari have recorded three wins in their last five, their away scoring record remains modest at one goal per game. The absence of Riyad Idrissi could further blunt Cagliari’s forward options against a Roma defence that has looked solid. Expect Roma to control possession and create the better chances in what should be a low-scoring contest.
