AS Roma are unbeaten at home with three wins and a draw, and hold the edge in both recent form and head-to-head meetings. Cagliari have only one draw and two defeats in their last three league matches and have scored just six goals in eight rounds. AS Roma's defensive fluctuations and midfield and goalkeeper absences keep the draw relevant, but the home win is preferred.

AS Roma have been solid at home, unbeaten in their four league home games this season with three wins, and have usually been able to protect leads. Cagliari have taken one point from their last three league games and have scored only six goals this season, while losing four of their last five meetings with AS Roma, so they are unlikely to produce a high-scoring game. AS Roma are missing key players including Pellegrini, Dybala and Svilar, but Cagliari's away attack offers little reason to expect a goal flood. AS Roma's recent defensive wobbles, however, mean the counter-attack risk after halftime cannot be ignored, so a draw and low-scoring outcomes keep meaningful weight.
AS Roma are without goalkeeper Svilar and several key midfield and forward players, which may affect control and rotation at the back and in midfield
Cagliari score a high share of their goals away, so an early AS Roma goal conceding would leave the home side exposed
AS Roma have conceded 9 goals in their last 6 league games, and this defensive inconsistency could open the door to an unexpected result

AS Roma are unbeaten at home in four league games (3W, 1D) and have won five of the last six league meetings with Cagliari. Cagliari have scored only six goals in eight rounds and are winless in three (1D, 2L). However, AS Roma are missing key players such as Pellegrini, Kone and Dybala, and have conceded nine goals in their last six matches, so a low-scoring stalemate cannot be ruled out.
AS Roma have multiple key injuries in midfield and at goalkeeper, weakening their squad depth and control.
AS Roma have conceded nine goals in their last six games; Cagliari can still create danger on counters and set pieces.

Model insight
AS Roma are unbeaten at home this season and have won four of the last six league meetings, but the absences of Pellegrini and Kone blunt their midfield creativity and first-choice keeper Svilar is injured, leaving a side that has conceded 1.5 goals per game across six matches. Cagliari are winless in three and have scored only six all season, so a narrow home win is the call, with the draw a genuine threat.
Pellegrini and Kone are both unavailable and keeper Svilar is out, so a reshuffled spine that has shipped 1.5 goals per game can be punished on the counter if AS Roma fail to break through early
Cagliari have won three of four away games and score 66% of their goals on the road, so a deep block plus set pieces can force a draw or steal a single goal
