Cagliari vs Bologna prediction

Cagliari welcome Bologna to the Unipol Domus looking to rebound from a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Monza. Despite that setback, the Sardinian club have enjoyed a solid opening phase to the Serie A campaign, collecting 13 points from seven matches to sit seventh in the standings. Their home form has been steady, conceding just two goals in three matches on home turf, including a recent 1-1 draw against Juventus.

Bologna have experienced a tougher start to their season, sitting 15th with five points from seven games and managing only one victory so far. The Rossoblu fell 3-1 at home to Inter in their last outing and have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet across their first seven league fixtures. Their away record shows one win and two losses, with an average of only 0.7 goals scored per game on the road.

With key attacking players sidelined for the visitors, Cagliari appear well positioned to take points from this contest. The sides played out a 0-0 draw in their most recent clash in May 2026, and another tightly contested, low-scoring encounter is probable given both sides average 0.9 goals scored per match this term.
