✅ Stats before the game: Cagliari have won only one of their last 16 league games against Roma (D4, L11), 3-2 on 25 April 2021 with Leonardo Semplici on the bench (with goals from Charalampos Lykogiannis, Razvan Marin and João Pedro). Roma have won six of their last nine Serie A away matches against Cagliari (D2, L1), after having failed to achieve success in the previous 11 (D4, L7). After a 0-0 draw on 25 November 2013, Roma found the back of the net in each of their next 15 Serie A matches against the Sardinians and only against Lecce (20) and Venezia (19) did they boast an open run of matches consecutive with at least one goal scored in the competition – in the half the Giallorossi scored a total of 30 goals, for an average of exactly two per match. For the first time in its history Cagliari has gained just two points in the first seven games of a Serie A season; in the previous four top championships, only two teams did not reach the three-point threshold after the first eight matches: Crotone 2020/21 and Sampdoria 2022/23, both relegated at the end of the tournament. Roma have not won any of their last seven away games in the championship (D3, L4), the last time they played more away games without winning in the competition was in 2000 (11).
