Cagliari vs Roma Nigeria odds comparison

The Serie A clash on 7 December 2025 pits Cagliari against a in‑form Roma side. Cagliari have struggled at home, registering zero wins in their last five games, three draws and two defeats while conceding 9 goals at an average of 1.8 per match. Roma, by contrast, sit near the top with four wins, no draws and only one loss in their recent five outings, scoring 7 and conceding just 2, an average of 0.4 goals conceded. Head‑to‑head favours Cagliari with three victories out of five, yet the last meeting in March 2025 was a narrow 1‑0 home win. The upcoming fixture is crucial for both clubs: Cagliari need points to escape the relegation zone, while Roma look to consolidate a push for European spots. The numbers suggest a tight contest, but Roma’s defensive solidity and recent attacking output give them the edge.

Cagliari’s numbers reveal an attack that produces just over a goal per game (1.2) but a defence that leaks 1.8 per outing, a gap that has led to three draws and two defeats. Their most productive match was the 3‑3 draw with Genoa, where six different scorers featured, yet they failed to keep a lead. Roma, on the other hand, combine a potent 1.4 goals‑per‑game rate with an impressive 0.4 goals‑conceded average, indicating balance on both ends. The timing of goals is telling: Cagliari often concede after the 60th minute, while Roma’s goals tend to come before halftime, as seen against Udinese and Parma. Both teams have low penalty involvement (only two for Roma and none for Cagliari in recent games), suggesting open play will dominate. The head‑to‑head record shows Cagliari scoring more overall, but Roma’s recent 4‑1 win highlights a capacity for sudden offensive bursts.

The data set does not list any fixtures for Cagliari or Roma after the 7 December encounter, so post‑match schedules are unavailable. Consequently, we cannot assess how this result might influence subsequent games, but both clubs will likely focus on their next listed opponents – Juventus for Cagliari and Napoli for Roma – once those dates become official.

Given Roma’s superior defensive record (0.4 goals conceded per game) and their recent ability to score against top opposition, the numbers suggest they are favoured to win. Cagliari have struggled to keep clean sheets and have not secured a home victory in their last five matches. A realistic prediction is a 2‑1 victory for Roma, with the home side possibly finding the net early but conceding after halftime as Roma’s pressure mounts.

The statistical profile points to a low‑scoring, tightly contested match with a slight edge for Roma. Over/under 2.5 goals is a tempting market – the average combined goals per game for both sides sits around 2.6, but Cagliari’s defensive lapses could push the total over. BTTS (both teams to score) appears plausible given Cagliari’s six goals in five games and Roma’s occasional away goal (e.g., vs Sassuolo). A prudent bet would be Roma to win - 1.80, Under 2.5 goals - 1.95, and BTTS Yes - 2.10. Consider a double‑chance (Roma or draw) for added safety if you expect a close contest.
