Cagliari vs Bologna Prediction and Betting Tips | 14th January 2024

The Bundesliga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Cagliari lock horns with an impressive Bologna side in an important encounter at the Sardegna Arena on Sunday.

Cagliari vs Bologna Preview

Cagliari are currently in 17th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Bologna, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side crashed out of the Coppa Italia against Fiorentina on penalties this week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Cagliari vs Bologna Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Bologna have a good recent record against Cagliari and have won 13 out of the last 31 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Cagliari's 10 victories.
Cagliari have won each of their last four matches at home against Bologna in the Serie A and have scored a total of eight goals in the process.
Cagliari are unbeaten in their last five matches at home in the Serie A and could secure an unbeaten run of six consecutive home games in the competition for the first time since 2019.
Bologna have drawn a total of six matches in nine matches away from home in the league this season - only Real Betis and FSV Mainz have a similar record in Europe's top five leagues.
Bologna have conceded only 16 goals in their first 19 matches in the Serie A this season - their best such record in the competition since the 1979-80 campaign.

Cagliari vs Bologna Prediction

Bologna have consistently punched above their weight so far this season and will be intent on moving into the top four this season. The likes of Remo Freuler and Joshua Zirkzee have stepped up to the plate this season and will aim to put in a solid performance this weekend.

Cagliari can pack a punch on their day and have improved their home record over the past month. Bologna are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
