Roma’s strong home record faces Cagliari’s productive away results, with the provisional table and listed absences framing the main question before kickoff.
Before kickoff
The defining contrast
AS Roma’s unbeaten home record meets a Cagliari side with three away wins in its four league trips this season. Roma have won three and drawn one at Stadio Olimpico, scoring 10 home goals and conceding three. Cagliari have scored four away goals and conceded five.
The key question is whether Roma’s home control can limit Cagliari’s effective away results. The match is part of Serie A’s regular-season round 9 on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 19:45 UTC.
Provisional table stakes
In the provisional Serie A standings, Roma are ranked #3 with 18 points from eight games, five points ahead of Cagliari, who are ranked #9 with 13 points. Inter lead with 22 points, leaving Roma four points behind the leaders and Cagliari nine points back. The result therefore offers both teams a chance to strengthen their current position, without establishing any confirmed qualification or relegation consequence.
Roma’s eight-result form sequence reads four wins, two draws, a win and a draw, most recent first. Cagliari’s eight listed results are three wins, a loss, a win, two draws and two losses, also most recent first.
Goal threats and absences
D. Malen carries Roma’s clearest scoring return with six goals and one assist in seven appearances. M. Soulé has three goals and one assist in eight appearances. Cagliari’s D. Maldini has four goals in eight appearances.
Roma list M. Bah, P. Dybala, M. Kone, L. Pellegrini and M. Svilar as missing through knee, calf, muscle, thigh and toe injuries respectively. Cagliari list M. Felici, R. Idrissi, Y. Trepy and H. Winks as missing through knee, knee, injury and back injuries. Can Roma’s leading scorers turn their home chance creation into another winning result against Cagliari’s away resilience?
