Command Analysis

Cagliari

Current form
Last season, Cagliari spent the entire first half of the season trying to adapt to the elite and spent the entire first half of the championship in the relegation zone. However, in the second half, they managed to improve and the Sardinians eventually saved themselves, finishing in 16th place in the table and giving Claudio Ranieri a well-deserved retirement.
Davide Nicola became the new coach of Cagliari in the summer – in his first match under his leadership, the Rossoblu easily beat Carrarese 3:1 at home in the Italian Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yerry Mina is suspended, and Benito Viola will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Cagliari have suffered just one defeat in their last eight home matches
- Cagliari have scored in the second halves of their last two home games
Approximate composition : Scuffet - Luperto, Vitesca, Zappa - Augello, Marin, Deiola, Azzi - Luvumbu, Pavoletti, Piccoli.

Roma

Current form
Roma failed to achieve their main goal last season – the Wolves finished sixth in the table and were left without the Champions League. At the same time, Daniele De Rossi retained his position and received serious reinforcements in the form of Artem Dovbyk, Matias Sule and Enzo Le Fe. However, there is a risk of losing Paulo Dybala, who is linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
In the last friendly match before the start of the championship, Roma drew 1:1 away to Everton.
Disqualifications and injuries
Leandro Paredes is suspended.

3.05Tip and bets
Roma is undoubtedly the favorite of the upcoming match - in the summer the Romans seriously strengthened their squad and probably set ambitious goals for themselves. Cagliari is seriously inferior in class to the Wolves, in the last two matches the Rossoblu lost to their opponents by a large margin, it makes sense to give preference to Roma today.
We think that the hosts have no chance. The betting tip is a victory for Roma . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on total
Roma will obviously come for three points - in friendly matches the "wolves" demonstrated that they have already managed to gain form, have an advantage in class and will probably create problems for the hosts' defense in the first half. At the same time, Cagliari is capable of putting up a fight at home, in the last five home matches the "rossoblu" have scored against the Romans, they will probably respond today.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.79
Bet on corners
Roma are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
