The previous meetings displayed by Lega Serie A mention Roma-Cagliari 2-0 on February 9, 2026 and Cagliari-Roma 1-0 on December 7, 2025, with the competition record presented as favorable to Roma. Their prédictive valeur remains limited, as the squads, coaches, and context have changed; the matchday lineups and absences are more decisive.

Context & news

In the scenario favorable to Roma, their high press and ability to quickly regain ground can force turnovers in Cagliari's initial build-up, as Cagliari are coming off two defeats without scoring. In the scenario favorable to Cagliari, a compact block closing down the flanks, with Adopo and Romano providing mobility and cover, can exploit the spaces behind Roma's press, especially if Roma rotate their team.

Roma did, however, concede three goals to Napoli, while Cagliari lose an important build-up profile with Winks: the two teams' ability to manage these phases remains the central tactical point.
