Roma unbeaten in three as struggling Cagliari visit in Serie A

Roma, unbeaten in their last three matches, host a Cagliari side who have lost their last two in Serie A on Wednesday.

The gap in the table reflects that contrast, with Roma third and five points clear of ninth-placed Cagliari after an identical number of games. A home win would stretch that margin further and keep the hosts among the leading pack.

Roma's run includes league wins over Genoa and a heavy Champions League victory against Slovan Bratislava, which followed a narrow home defeat to Real Madrid. Their most recent outing was a high-scoring draw away at Napoli on Saturday, a result that kept the sequence without defeat intact.

Cagliari, by contrast, are without a win in their last three after an earlier spell that brought away victories at Atalanta and Udinese. Their latest setback came at home to Bologna, which followed a heavy defeat away at Monza.

NextGOAL's power score (pPS) leans clearly towards the hosts, rating Roma at 72.9 against 29.3 for Cagliari. Roma also rank higher on all seven of the axes on NextGOAL's radar, with the widest gap on Attacking. Roma have won three of the last five meetings, a run dating back to February 2024, including a 2-0 home win in February this year.

Kick-off at the Roma home fixture is at 02:45 Thai time on Wednesday 28 October, the night of Tuesday into Wednesday.
