Cagliari host Roma at Unipol Domus on Sunday (October 8) in Serie A action this weekend.
The hosts have endured a torrid return to the top flight, find themselves in the drop zone. Cagliari lost 3-0 to Fiorentina in their last game, conceding after three minutes and failing to muster a response.
Cagliari are rock-bottom in the league table with two points from seven games and are one of two winless teams in the top flight.
Roma, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season, with manager Jose Mourinho calling it his worst start to a season. They, however, returned to winning ways in Serie A last weekend with a 2-0 win over newly promoted Frosinone, thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku and Lorenzo Pellegrini in either half.
