Prediction: 1-1
AS Roma
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Carrarese in the Coppa Italia round 1, Cagliari will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on AS Roma in their Serie A opener. The Rossoblu are seen as underdogs in Sunday’s clash, but one thing is for sure, they will leave their hearts on the field. Columbia defender Yerry Mina is sidelined through suspension, while summer recruit Nadir Zortea should make his Serie A debut against the Romans.
Meanwhile, the visitors are eyeing a spot in the Champions League and they surely want to kickstart the new Serie A campaign in style. A man to watch in the away team will Paulo Dybala as fellow striker Romelu Lukaku returned to Chelsea. Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes serves a one-game ban. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the horizon at Unipol Domus as Cagliari are tough to beat in Sardinia.
