Cagliari vs AS Roma Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Serie A 2024-25

Giallorossi begin their new league season on the road.

AS Roma begin a new era under manager Danielle De Rossi as they travel to Cagliari for their opening Serie A fixture of the season.

Cagliari will be looking to avoid last season’s issues where they struggled for much of the campaign before finishing just above the relegation zone. In pre-season as well they were not good enough. Cagliari returned to competitive action with Monday’s Coppa Italia tie against Carrarese in which they won the match by 3-1.

De Rossi impressed for Roma last season after replacing Jose Mourinho midway through the campaign. The gaffer completely turned things around and led them to a sixth-place finish in Serie A. Roma brought in some really good players in the summer transfer market as last season’s Pichichi winner Artem Dovbyk arrived from Girona. The capital club often do well against Cagliari and should have the upper hand on Sunday.

Players to Watch

Zito Luvumbo (Cagliari)

The thing which immediately catches the eye is the quickness of both his feet and his brain. The young Angolan gives the impression of always knowing what to do way before the ball reaches him, often resulting in mouthwatering first touches which leave defenders in the dust. What is most striking about Luvumbo is his enormous self-confidence which makes him uncatchable when dribbling at full speed. Physically very strong and always looks to attack the spaces on the field.

Artem Dovbyk (AS Roma)

What sets Dovbyk apart is not just his goalscoring prowess but also his playmaking skills. This dual threat on the field adds a valuable dimension to his overall impact. His intelligence is not only limited to the attacking third, he actively contributes defensively as well. He is an all-around asset for AS Roma. His presence on the field continues to leave a lasting impression.
