Cagliari vs AS Roma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-06 14:00.
[p]After falling to narrow defeats in their last Serie A matches, relegation-threatened Cagliari and title-chasing Roma are both bidding to get back to winning ways here.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Cagliari’s 2-1 defeat against Juventus last weekend consigned them to a ninth successive winless game in Serie A (D4, L5), a run which sees them enter this round only a point above the relegation zone. Despite their recent poor form, Fabio Pisacane’s men have the same amount of points (11) as they did at this stage last term when they finished a comfortable five points above the drop zone, so there is no need to panic just yet. The Sardinian outfit know that rediscovering the kind of early-season form which saw them win three of their first four competitive home games (D1) could be key given they’re now winless in four on home soil since (D1, L3). [/p]
[p]After suffering a 1-0 defeat against Napoli last Sunday, not only did Roma’s four-game winning run across all competitions grind to an abrupt halt, but they were also knocked off the Serie A summit. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men ought not to be too despondent as they’re only a point adrift of the league leaders pre-round, and their 27 point haul remains their best result at this stage since 2017/18. There seems no better place to bounce back than on the road for Roma, who have won seven of their eight competitive away games this season, claiming a pre-round league-high 15 points on their travels in Serie A (W5, L1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Roma have won five of their last six H2Hs (D1), although that sole draw did come in this corresponding fixture last season (0-0). Since the start of the 2012/13 season, Roma have only beaten Udinese (9) more often in Serie A away games than they have Cagliari (7).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
