AS Roma vs Cagliari prediction, Oct 27

AS Roma enter this match on a positive league run, having avoided defeat in their most recent domestic fixtures including a high-scoring draw against Napoli. Their attacking threat has been consistent, highlighted by D. Malen and M. Soulé, who have both contributed significantly to the side's goal tally across recent matches. Conversely, Cagliari have struggled for form recently, losing their last two Serie A games without finding the back of the net. While they showed defensive resilience earlier in the season, including a draw against Juventus, they have conceded six goals in their last two outings. The visitors will need to improve upon a pattern that has seen them score just five goals across their recent listed matches.

The recent history between these two sides shows AS Roma holding a slight advantage, with two wins compared to one for Cagliari and a single draw. Their most recent meeting in February 2026 ended in a two-goal victory for AS Roma at home.

AS Roma are currently ranked third in the league table with 18 points from eight matches.
Cagliari are ninth in the standings, having recorded four wins and three defeats so far this season.
AS Roma will be without L. Pellegrini, M. Bah, M. Kone, M. Svilar, and P. Dybala due to injury.
Cagliari have reported H. Winks, M. Felici, R. Idrissi, and Y. Trepy as ruled out for this fixture.
AS Roma have demonstrated a strong attacking output in recent matches, averaging 18 shots per game.

AS Roma possess the stronger league position and have shown greater consistency in front of goal throughout their recent campaign. While Cagliari have found success on their travels earlier this season, their current run of two losses and a lack of goals presents a challenge. Given the home side's form and their historical record in this fixture, the match points toward a competitive encounter where the hosts will aim to leverage their attacking efficiency.
