Roma demonstrate a clear advantage in home matches with a 64% win rate and an impressive +8 goal difference. The hosts concede only 0.55 goals per game at home, while maintaining a 45% clean sheet rate. Cagliari perform poorly in away matches – with just a 25% win rate, a negative -5 goal difference, and as many as 42% losses on the road. xG statistics also favor Roma (1.77 vs 1.12), and the hosts boast significantly better offensive and defensive form. The recent form of both teams (Roma: wwddl, Cagliari: dlwww) shows that the visitors have improved their form, however, at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma should capitalize on their home advantage and secure all three points.
