Cagliari vs. Roma: Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

On Sunday night at Unipol Domus, Sardinia will host Roma's first round match versus Cagliari.

Last weekend, the hosts went into action again, this time in the Coppa Italia, defeating Carrarese of the lower level.

Previous Matches and head to head

Matteo Prati, Leonardo Pavoletti, and Roberto Piccoli were the Rossoblu's targets that day.

For the most part, Cagliari have scored goals with relative ease in this preseason. In their last three exhibitions, they have scored seven goals.

After last weekend's 1-1 draw with Premier League side Everton at Goodison, Roma will be looking to bounce back in this match.

The Romans, who started their newest signing Artem Dovbyk, had Lorenzo Pellegrini on the scoreboard.

Cagliari completed the season only one point above Frosinone, who were relegated, while Roma finished barely outside of the top five slots.

Cagliari x Roma Team News

With no known injuries, Davide Nicola will be in charge of Cagliari's first competitive match. Răzvan Marin, a Romanian midfielder who was just signed, is likely to make his home team debut.

The starting lineup for the opening Serie A match of the season is complete, according to head coach De Rossi. The lone player not playing for the away team is suspended midfielder Leandro Paredes. The Roma offense will likely be spearheaded by summer acquisition Artem Dovbyk.

Our Predictions

Over 2.5 goals @ 1.90 on SKY247.ng

Coming into Sunday, Roma will be riding high after defeating Cagliari four games in a row. They scored four goals in each of their matches against the Rossoblu last season.

Additionally, the Romans have performed well in the most recent displays. They won 4-1 away to Barnsley and then drew 1-1 at Everton.

The opponents that Cagliari played during their summer testing were much simpler. With Roma's talent on our side, we think it's a good bet to go with the away victory at 1.95 odds.

Artem Dovbyk to score anytime @ 2.10 on SKY247.ng 

Artem Dovbyk to score anytime for La Lupa at 2.10 odds is also extremely tempting.

During Girona's previous La Liga season, Dovbyk had a breakout year. When paired with Matias Soule and Tammy Abraham, he forms a lethal attacking line.

At 1.90 odds, the Over 2.5 goals FT selection also seems to be a fantastic choice. In the last eight head-to-head encounters between these two teams, three goals were scored in seven of those matches.
