AS Roma vs Cagliari Calcio Prediction 8 February 2026

Roma enjoyed a strong run in early January, recording three identical 2–0 victories over Lecce, Sassuolo, and Torino. That momentum, however, has slowed, with a hard-fought 1–1 draw against Milan followed by a narrow 0–1 defeat to Udinese. As things stand, the Giallorossi sit fifth in the table with 43 points and an impressive 27–14 goal difference.

Cagliari, meanwhile, occupy 12th place with 28 points and a 28–31 goal ratio—an encouraging position given their recent battles near the relegation zone. The Islanders’ recent form has been eye-catching: victories over Juventus (1–0), Fiorentina (2–1), and Verona (4–0), a 2–2 draw with Cremonese, and only one setback, a heavy 0–3 loss to Genoa.

On current form, Cagliari arguably arrive in better shape than a Roma side that has stalled during the middle phase of the season. Even if the visitors ultimately fall short, they look well equipped to push the hosts hard—and a narrow defeat may be the worst-case scenario for the Sardinians.
