- Roma have played 4 home games in Serie A 2026-2027 (W3, D1). Roma are unbeaten in Serie A 2026-2027 and have won their last 2 games (W2). Cagliari have 13 points from 7 matches in Serie A 2026-2027, losing 4-0 to Monza last time out. Roma are favoured to win at 33/100 and Cagliari at 167/20 for Tuesday's Serie A 2026-2027 clash at the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma riding high at the top of the Serie A 2026-2027 standings
Roma are 3rd in Serie A 2026/2027 with 17 points from 7 games at the early-season stage, keeping pace with the top-four clubs so far. Giallorossi have won their last 2 fixtures in style, beating Genoa 2-0 in Serie A and SK Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in the Champions League.
Gian Piero Gasperini has transformed the club since he took over in June 2025, implementing his high-intensity, high-press and 3-at-the-back system. Roma have looked good in Serie A 2026-2027 and they've been ruthless in their finishing, with Donyell Malen top-scoring in the league with six goals in five games.
Malen is Roma's danger man and he is taking the game to defenders, but Cagliari have a finisher of their own in Daniel Maldini. The former AC Milan forward has 3 goals in 5 Serie A appearances in 2026/2027, scoring 3 of their last 5 Serie A goals.
Cagliari could make things tough for Roma
Cagliari are 7th in Serie A 2026-2027 with 13 points from 7 fixtures, close enough to the upper half of the table to give Fabio Pisacane and his players hope. The rossoblù haven't been as consistent as Roma, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1 of their last 5 matches, but that defeat came last weekend when they were thumped 4-0 at Monza.
Cagliari have a different profile to Roma, being more of a compact and flexible system than the high-risk, high-press style of the Giallorossi. Pisacane has them solid and able to disrupt opponents and counter-attack, which should be their approach against Roma.
A draw is unlikely with the hosts coming into this one on the back of 2 wins, so the most probable outcome is a Roma win. However, Cagliari have won 3, drawn 0 and lost 1 of their 4 away games in Serie A 2026-2027, so they should be good for a goal or two against Gasparini's defence.
Cagliari have shipped 5 goals in their 4 away trips and they haven't won any of their last 3 Serie A 2026-2027 games in Rome.
Giallorossi favourites to come out on top
The main selection for this Serie A 2026-2027 match is Roma to win as they are the clear favourites in the match result market. Roma have won 2 of the last 3 games between these two and Cagliari haven't won any of their last 3 away games here. Roma's last win over Cagliari came 8 months ago in a 2-0 win at home in Serie A 2025/2026, but since then both sides have new coaches and systems. Backing Roma to come out on top feels like the sharp call on the odds, but there's an opportunity to increase the odds by adding BTTS - no into the equation. Cagliari drew 1-1 at home to Juventus prior to that defeat at Monza, so the level of their play has been up and down, so we're going to take a chance on the Giallorossi edging this one if they can impose their press, with Cagliari capable of keeping it close for spells.
