Source context
Stadio Olimpico is the venue as high-flying Roma and early surprise package Cagliari go head-to-head in midweek Serie A action. Both teams will be keen to return to winning ways on Tuesday after failing to win over the weekend. Roma demonstrated their fighting spirit in the latest edition of the famous Derby del Sole, defying a two-goal deficit to hold Napoli to a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Maradona Stadium on Saturday. In doing so, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men upheld their unbeaten Serie A start (W5, D3), meaning they’ve avoided defeat in the first eight league matches of the season for the first time since 2013/14.
