Why Roma vs. Cagliari is being played one hour later than usual
The Serie A match between Roma and Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday will kick off at 15.00 GMT (16.00 CET), one hour later than the usual 14.00 GMT kick-off slot due to an unusually busy weekend of sport in the Italian capital.
Why Roma vs. Cagliari is starting later than usual
Roma-Cagliari was pushed back by an hour due to the Rome Marathon taking place throughout the city in the morning. The match could not be played on Saturday due to the Six Nations match played between Italy and Ireland at the Stadio Olimpico.
In order to ease congestion in the city, to ensure the safety of the public and the appropriate spreading of resources, the Roma-Cagliari match will start an hour later than usual, while the Marathon also took place slightly earlier than originally scheduled to create as much space between the events as possible.
The Giallorossi are looking to bounce back in Serie A after a disappointing exit from the Europa League round of 16 at the hands of Athletic Club in Bilbao on Thursday evening.
Paulo Dybala could be given a rest, while Eldor Shomurodov could get an opportunity to start up front again ahead of Artem Dovbyk.
