AS Roma vs Cagliari: Cagliari +1.5 Goal Handicap (-130)
Odds correct at time of publishing When AS Roma hosts Cagliari, the visitors seem poised for a strong showing, especially considering their recent form. Cagliari’s away record of 4-1-0 in their last five matches indicates a team that thrives under pressure and knows how to grind out results. They've been defensively solid, allowing an average of just 0.4 goals in those games, while posting an impressive xG of 1.2. On the flip side, Roma has struggled against Cagliari historically, with a record of just 1-1-3 in their last five encounters. This trend combined with Roma’s inconsistent performances—especially at home—suggests they might find it challenging to break through Cagliari's resilient backline. With Cagliari scoring consistently and limiting opponents, backing them for a handicap of +1.5 feels like a savvy play. They’re riding a wave of confidence, and that could just tip the scales in their favor.
