Game Time | 3:45 PM ET / 12:45 PM PT |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Stadio Olimpico |
Roma host Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico in Italian Serie A, and the Roma vs Cagliari betting odds paint a lopsided picture, with Roma -300 (Polymarket) on the moneyline.
Gian Piero Gasperini's side sit third in the standings and arrive with real momentum. They are undefeated in their last 15 games in Serie A.
Cagliari sit ninth, and Fabio Pisacane's side are happiest playing in their own half and protecting a lead rather than chasing a game on the road.
The previous meetings lean heavily toward the hosts. Roma hold four wins to Cagliari's one, with a single tie.
Roma vs Cagliari Recent Results
A Roma moneyline bet would have cashed in 5 of their last 10 games against all opponents, so not every outing has been a romp. Finishing is still the calling card, and Matías Soulé is the creative spark, recording a shot on target in 6 of his last 8 Serie A outings.
A Cagliari moneyline bet would also have landed 5 times in their last 10 games against all opponents, a solid return for a side built to sit deep. Daniel Maldini carries the attacking load behind Kevin Carlos and is the obvious outlet on the break.

Roma vs Cagliari Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our Roma vs Cagliari prediction is a Roma win with both teams finding the net. Roma are the clear favorite here, with the kind of attacking firepower that should give a shaky Cagliari back line fits all night. Cagliari's finishing is the bigger worry on their end, but Roma's own habit of leaking goals on the counter leaves a window for Daniel Maldini to get Cagliari on the board. Malen and Soulé should do enough damage to keep the result out of reach.
Best Picks
Both Teams To Score – Yes. Cagliari have enough threat on the break to find a goal at the Olimpico, with Roma's attack expected to score as well. This one sits in the Both Teams To Score market. The implied probability on the market undersells how often both sides find the net in matchups like this, and Maldini running at a back line that struggles against counters is exactly how Cagliari get on the board.
Over 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Roma are tipped to score at least twice and the model projects a high-scoring game. Again, that is the Total Goals Over/Under market. Roma have scored at least 2 goals in 12 of their last 13 games in Serie A, and that kind of attacking output alone pushes this total into range without needing much from Cagliari.
Roma vs Cagliari Same Game Parlay
Our Roma vs Cagliari same game parlay picks lean on the Roma attack: two Donyell Malen player props, Roma over 1.5 home goals and a Paul Mendy fouls leg.
Donyell Malen Over 2.5 Player Shots. Malen has attempted 3+ shots in 6 of his last 7 Serie A outings, and as the lone central forward he gets the volume.
Over 1.5 Total Home Goals. Roma attack down the wings relentlessly, and Cagliari's habit of sitting in their own half invites exactly the kind of sustained pressure that produces multiple goals.
Donyell Malen Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target. He has put a shot on target in six of his past seven Serie A appearances, which pairs neatly with the shots leg.
Paul Mendy Over 1.5 Player Fouls. Mendy has picked up 2+ fouls in every one of his last six Serie A appearances, making this the steadiest leg on the slip.

Roma vs Cagliari Talking Points
The flanks are where this one gets decided. Roma love to attack down the wings, and Nahuel Molina against Adam Obert is the matchup to watch, with Molina finding the net in 2 of his last 3 games against Cagliari in Serie A. In midfield, Bryan Cristante and Marten de Roon need to win the physical battle with Roberto Gagliardini and Michel Adopo. Up front, Donyell Malen will spend all night battering away at Juan Rodríguez and Yerry Mina, and against a Cagliari defense that is weak at set pieces, Roma have more than one way to break it open.
