Match Preview
Cagliari hosts Bologna at the Sardegna Arena on Sunday, 19 October, in a clash that promises to be pivotal for both sides as they seek to improve their Serie A standings. Cagliari's recent form shows a mixed bag with two draws, a win, and two losses in their last five matches. Conversely, Bologna has struggled, managing just one win in their last five outings. Historically, Cagliari has dominated this fixture, winning eight of the last ten encounters, which may give them a psychological edge heading into this match.
One significant angle to consider is Cagliari's home advantage. They have been strong at the Sardegna Arena, and their attacking style has often resulted in high-scoring games, with five of the last ten meetings seeing over 2.5 goals. Additionally, both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence, with Cagliari conceding in four of their last five matches and Bologna doing so in three. This could set the stage for a potentially thrilling encounter, where both teams might find the net.
