AS Roma VS Cagliari Calcio

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 0-1 in favor of AS Roma.
Roma's 3-4-2-1 formation with strong midfield presence targets Cagliari's transition vulnerabilities. Cagliari's 3-5-2 defensive approach aims to minimize Roma's attacking threat but struggles to generate offensive momentum. Roma's superior pressing and ball retention will likely dominate possession. Cagliari's home ground offers psychological comfort but historical disadvantage against Roma looms large.
Roma's dominant head-to-head record (4 wins, 1 draw in last 5 encounters including 4-0 and 4-1 victories) combined with current form disparity heavily favors visitors. Cagliari's nine-game winless streak and defensive vulnerability to Roma's attacking patterns indicate Roma will control the match. Roma's need to respond after Napoli defeat adds motivation.
