Top-four contenders Roma tackle
relegation-threatened Cagliari on Monday, when the two teams clash at Stadio
Olimpico.
Back-to-back wins since Daniele De Rossi's
arrival have helped the Giallorossi inch up the Serie A standings, while their
visitors have recently slipped back into the drop zone.
Making an immediate impact upon his
installation as Roma boss following Jose Mourinho's sacking, Daniele De Rossi
led his new side to successive Serie A victories in January, to keep them in
the hunt for Champions League qualification.
Given the combination of Roma's fine home record and Cagliari's woes on the road, only one outcome is likely in Serie A's Monday contest. The Giallorossi are rejuvenated under new management, so three more points should be theirs for the taking.
