Cagliari 0-2 Bologna

Current streaks

Recent form

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing signs of improvement despite their current 15th position in Serie A. The Sardinian side have managed three wins in their last six matches across all competitions, including a notable 3-2 victory over Torino in their most recent home game. Their away form has been particularly impressive, securing a draw against giants Juventus and a 3-2 win over Parma. However, Cagliari have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in their last six matches. The team's matches have been relatively low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games seeing under 2.5 goals. Despite this, Cagliari have been involved in two high-scoring encounters recently, both ending 3-2. The team's inconsistency is evident in their inability to string together more than two consecutive wins, alternating between positive and negative results in their last four Serie A matches.

Bologna

Bologna's recent form has been disappointing, with the team struggling to find consistency. They have managed only one win in their last six matches, which came against Monza in Serie A. The Rossoblu have been particularly goal-shy, netting just five times in this period, with an average of less than one goal per game. Defensively, they have been somewhat porous, conceding eight goals and keeping only one clean sheet. Their current position of 12th in Serie A reflects their mixed performances, with three draws in their last four league matches highlighting their difficulty in securing victories. Bologna's Champions League campaign has been challenging, suffering back-to-back 2-0 defeats against Aston Villa and Liverpool. The team's inability to score in four of their last six matches across all competitions is a concerning trend that manager Thiago Motta will be keen to address.

Recent home/away form

Cagliari

Cagliari's home form has been a mixed bag recently, with their last six matches at the Unipol Domus yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Sardinian side have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just five goals in these six matches, with an average of 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat vulnerable, conceding nine goals in total, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Napoli. However, Cagliari have shown resilience in some matches, keeping two clean sheets and holding AS Roma to a goalless draw. Their most recent home fixture was a high-scoring affair, with Cagliari edging out Torino 3-2, bucking the trend of their generally low-scoring matches, as 67% of their recent home games have seen under 2.5 goals.

Bologna

Bologna have been struggling away from home, with their recent form showing a concerning pattern of inconsistency. In their last six away matches, they have managed only one victory, against Monza, whilst suffering three defeats and securing two draws. The Rossoblu have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, conceding an average of two goals per match. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, allowing 12 goals in total, with a heavy 3-0 loss to Napoli standing out as their most significant defeat. On a more positive note, Bologna have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in four of the six matches, including two 2-2 draws against Genoa and Como. However, their goal difference of -6 and their position of 12th in the league table suggest that improvements are needed if they hope to climb higher in Serie A.
