Cagliari-Roma is a match from the first day of Serie A and is played Sunday at 8:45 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV, streaming.
Roma is one of the few Serie A bigs not to have changed coach since last season, and Daniele De Rossi, who took over from Jose Mourinho last January, can start from an important base. The goal, again this year, is to regain that Champions qualification that has been missing for too long – the Giallorossi haven’t played the cup with the big ears even since 2019 – and to be again protagonists in the Europa League, touched twice in the last two seasons (final and semifinal).
Although not ranked among the top five, Roma has shown its ambition in this soccer market as well, securing a talent like Matias Soulé – who went into double figures at Frosinone – and bringing to the capital the top scorer of the last La Liga, Ukrainian center forward Artem Dovbyk. The fans, in any case, are anxious about Dybala, who has just received a major offer from Saudi Arabia: the Argentine is pondering what to do and it cannot be ruled out that, in the event of a transfer, Chiesa, now to all intents and purposes a redundancy at Juventus, could arrive at De Rossi’s court. Roma, meanwhile, will make its debut in Cagliari against the men of Davide Nicola, who took over from Claudio Ranieri, who resigned after achieving a salvation that was by no means a foregone conclusion. The Sardinians gave good impressions against Carrarese (3-1) in the Coppa Italia but the first real test will be with the Giallorossi at the Unipol Arena.
Cagliari-Roma: the latest news on the lineups
Nicola will not be able to count on the experience of Mina and Viola, both unavailable. Immediately a starting jersey for Zortea, one of the new faces along with Palomino, Piccoli and Adopo. In attack, it’s a ballot between Lapadula and Luvumbo, while the former Lecce striker is sure to start from the 1′.
Only bench for Dybala in Roma: in the offensive trident set up by De Rossi will play El Shaarawy and newcomers Dovbyk and Soulé. In midfield chance for Frenchman Le Fée, formerly of Lorient and Rennes: he will take the place of the disqualified Paredes.

The Prediction
Goals have not been lacking in the last few meetings between Cagliari and Roma, with the Giallorossi winning 4-0 and 4-1 over the Sardinians last season. In light of the many unknowns, we speculate that this time as well it will be a match of at least three goals overall, in which Daniele De Rossi’s men should manage to take away points.

CAGLIARI (3-5-2): Scuffet; Zappa, Wieteska, Luperto; Zortea, Marin, Prati, Deiola, Augello; Piccoli, Luvumbo.
