Roma vs Cagliari predictions for tonight’s 7.45pm (UK time) kick-off at the Stadio Olimpico back Roma to win to nil at 5/4, with our score prediction Roma 2-0 Cagliari. The third-placed Serie A side are strong favourites against mid-table opposition.
Few sides in the division have been meaner than Roma this season, so they will fancy their chances at home, while Cagliari arrive short of goals and firepower.
Anthony Eadson expects a comfortable home win and has two Premium Tips to match.
Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Roma vs Cagliari, with Anthony Eadson backing the hosts to keep it tight.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Roma to win to nil | 5/4 (10bet) | Roma’s defensive record makes a home win to nil the standout play at 5/4. The Giallorossi are third in Serie A and have kept five clean sheets in eight games, conceding just six goals all season. Cagliari offer little going forward, with only six goals scored in eight games and three blanks already on the board, including in each of their last two. Roma have won three of their four home games, and against one of the division’s meanest defences, a low-scoring evening looks likely. |
| Alessandro Deiola to be shown a card | 4/1 (Sky Bet) | Alessandro Deiola has been booked four times in eight Serie A games this season, a yellow card every 147 minutes he has played. Two of those cautions came in his last three outings, including against Bologna last time out, and two came against Inter and Juventus. With Harry Winks a doubt with a back injury, Deiola should have plenty of defensive work in the Cagliari midfield against a Roma side expected to dominate the ball. He is a fair bet to go into the book at 4/1. |

How Roma go into the game
Roma go into this third in Serie A on 18 points, unbeaten with five wins and three draws from eight. Their defence has been the story, with five clean sheets and just six goals conceded, one of the best records in the division.
The hosts come in off a 3-3 draw at Napoli, a rare off-day defensively, having beaten Genoa 2-0 at home and drawn 0-0 at Como in their last five. At the Olimpico they have been excellent, winning three of four.
How Cagliari go into the game
Cagliari travel to the capital ninth in Serie A on 13 points, with four wins, one draw and three defeats. They have scored only six goals, one of the lightest returns in the division, and have failed to score in three games.
The visitors come in off a 2-0 home defeat to Bologna, and were thumped 4-0 at Monza earlier in their last five. They have shown they can grind out away results, but their lack of a goal threat is a worry against the Roma defence.
Roma vs Cagliari head-to-head

| 07/12/25 | Cagliari | 1-0 | Roma |

Roma have dominated this fixture, winning three of the last five meetings and losing just once. The Giallorossi won the most recent clash 2-0 at the Olimpico in February 2026, though Cagliari did spring a 1-0 home win in December 2025, so they are not without hope.

Roma vs Cagliari score prediction
Cagliari will set up to frustrate, but their lack of a cutting edge makes life hard on the road. Roma have the quality and defensive solidity to control this and should win without conceding at the Olimpico. Score prediction: Roma 2-0 Cagliari.
