Roma and Cagliari meet often enough to know each other well, and the last time at Olympic Stadium the hosts won 2-0. But the context is quite different this time, because Cagliari have started the season more solidly than many expected. Roma are still unbeaten in the league after 8 matches, collecting 18 points, but their recent form has been a bit stop-start, drawing the last 2 games, especially the one they opened up and finished 3-3. A defense that was once tight is starting to show gaps, while Cagliari have lost two in a row and failed to score in that stretch, yet overall this season they have conceded only 9 goals in 8 matches, which is even fewer than the hosts. This game will likely see Roma dominate possession and push forward, while Cagliari sit in a block and wait to counter. If the hosts score early the game could open up, but if the visitors hold out until late, it will become more tense and could easily end close.
