Will the Sardinians put up a fight?
The visitors from Sardinia have won their last three games. Admittedly, Pisa and Verona were two lightweight opponents, but that’s not all.
They also picked up three points against the fourth-placed team from Turin. The “Old Lady” is just ahead of their upcoming opponents in Serie A, which is why this success can also be seen as an indication of the “Rossoblù”’s chances in their upcoming task on the Tiber.
However, the capital club are also playing consistently well at the moment: Coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s team have lost only one of their last five league games, and Serie A’s best defense has once again impressed in this review, conceding no more than two goals.
Given this situation, we are predicting that the visitors will lose by a maximum of one goal in the match between AS Roma and Cagliari. In addition, the odds on a maximum of two goals appear to be lucrative. As mentioned, “La Magica” is very strong defensively, which is why AS’s home games tend to be low-scoring.
Only two of the eleven games played in front of their home crowd ended with more than two goals! In addition, the average of 1.8 goals is the second lowest in the Italian top flight’s home rankings after Pisa with 1.4.
Furthermore, due to the defensive performance of the home team, the betting odds for a home win without conceding a goal are favorable in the match between AS Roma and Cagliari. The statistics also support this: Roma have won their last three home games against the Sardinians, including a clean sheet!
AS Roma – Cagliari Head-to-head record/H2H record
Roma lost the last head-to-head match in December last year at Cagliari 0-1. This ended a previous streak of six unbeaten games for the “Wolves” in this pairing (5-1-0). Despite the recent defeat, the odds for the match between AS Roma and Cagliari clearly point to a home win.
AS Roma – Cagliari Tip
Coach Fabio Pisacane’s visiting team has recently played efficiently, winning three league games and moving away from the relegation zone for the time being thanks to its successful run this season. However, the 15th-placed team from last season now faces a tough opponent in Roma.
The Giallorossi are also in good form at the moment and have been impressive defensively since the start of the season. No other team in the current Serie A season has conceded fewer goals, which is why the visitors’ offense will be particularly challenged.
However, given the visitors’ recent upturn in form, we do not expect them to be thrashed, which means that the odds on Cagliari not losing by more than one goal in the match between AS Roma and Cagliari look promising. This is also supported by the fact that the visitors have a physical advantage.
AS Roma have already played nine competitive games this year, a third more than the Sardinians. The surprising defeat against Udinese on the last matchday showed that this number has not left the Romans unscathed.
