Cagliari Team News
It's 10 competitive matches now for Cagliari without a win, which means the entire months of October and November passed without Cagliari winning 3 points against anyone. Due to the two wins early in the season Cagliari is still doing okay, being placed 15th with 11 points, but they'll need to turn a corner if they want to prevent the descent to the relegation zone.
In recent two seasons, they were led by Claudio Ranieri, and due to his incredible genius they managed to stay in the league. Now, with the new coach who just isn't at the same level, the performances are deteriorating to match the actual quality of the roster.
Roma Team News
Roma finally lost a tight match 0-1 instead of winning it with the same result. Napoli made the league much more interesting than it would have been with a home victory, as the four top teams entered this round with 28, 28, 27, 27 points because of this result. Inter already won on Saturday so it's up to the remaining three to do some catching up.
Roma is the best visitor in the league when you look at the stats, and this is something incredible for this side that has been troubled by away matches for so long that we don't remember anything else than shaky defence. Well this one works -- Roma conceded 3 goals in 6 away matches and has the best defence in the league.
Probable Lineups
Cagliari (4-3-2-1): Caprile - Palestra, Mina, Luperto, Obert - Adopo, Prati, Deiola - S.Esposito, Folorunsho - Borelli. Coach Pisacane.
Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar - Hermoso, Mancini, Ndicka - Celik, Kone, El Aynaoui, Wesley - Cristante - Soule, Dybala. Coach Gasperini.
The Betting Market
Roma has been installed as a 1.69 favourite, which is incidentally almost the same price as the 1.66 on Under 2.5 Goals and on Both Teams To Score: NO.
While we're perfectly aware of Roma's success this season, that side is relying on a single goal to win the game, and that's unsustainable. Cagliari could at least make this interesting as they often do against big favourites, so we'd leave the winner market alone.
The Betting Verdict
Instead, we'll gladly take the offered 2.10 on Both Teams To Score: YES. Cagliari has an incredible ability to score when they're already behind, as then they give up on the defensive posture and go forward with courage. Cagliari just scored on the road against Juventus in a 2-1 defeat and then did the same at home against Napoli in the cup. They could continue the trend here.
The Pick :
Cagliari 1-2 Roma
