Cagliari vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips (29 October)

In what is becoming an extremely competitive race for promotion, a run of eight wins in nine games has catapulted Cagliari to the top of the Serie A standings, with the current coach charges emerging victorious from all five of their home matches during this period. Bologna, meanwhile, have lost 10 times in 11 third-tier trips this season.

Ten of the last 11 Cagliari matches in the Serie A have served up two goals or fewer, so there is no reason to expect anything different in what is an important game for both sides. In fact, eight of the previous 10 Bologna away games at this level have also been of the under 2.5 goals variety, meaning that it would come as a shock to see three goals or more.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 11 of the most recent 16 Cagliari matches on their own patch in the Serie A, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten Bologna away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
