The start of 2015 has not been kind to many teams in not just Serie A, but across Europe. Unfortunately for Giallorossi fans, Roma is one of them. The Lupi are currently seven points behind league leaders Juventus and some calcio followers have already declared the Bianconeri this season's champions due to the capital club's inability to get back to winning ways.
Rudi Garcia's men are out of the Coppa Italia after losing to Fiorentina. They are still in European competition, but will have to try their luck in the Europa League against a potentially tricky Feyenoord in about two weeks. And unless if something drastically changes, they will have to face the possibility that not only will Juventus successfully clinch their fourth straight title, but if they are not careful, they could be overtaken by Napoli, who sit four points behind.
After failing to get into the Champions League due to a play-off match, the Partenopei will definitely hope to secure their spot automatically this time.
Give that Cagliari have struggled this season, it should represent a good chance for Garcia's side to make up for those points dropped in January. It would have also represented an interesting match for Victor Ibarbo, but the powerful forward is set to miss 5 weeks due to a calf injury.
It indeed will be interesting to see if Roma finally get things right, or if Cagliari will be yet another lower-ranked side to further frustrate the Scudetto hopefuls.
