Bologna 2-1 Cagliari

Current streaks

Recent form

Bologna

Bologna have shown impressive form in recent weeks, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions. The Rossoblu have been particularly strong at home, securing victories against AC Milan and Como, while also demonstrating their ability to grind out results away from home with a 1-0 win at Atalanta in the Coppa Italia. Bologna's defence has been noteworthy, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game during this period. Their most recent match, a 2-1 victory over AC Milan, was a high-scoring affair by their recent standards, as 67% of their last six games have seen under 2.5 goals. Currently sitting in 6th position in Serie A, Bologna's recent form suggests they are well-positioned to maintain their push for European qualification.

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the Sardinian side struggling to string together positive results. They have managed just two wins in their last six matches, interspersed with three losses and a draw. The standout performance came in their 4-1 victory over Lecce, which was their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, Cagliari have been somewhat porous, keeping only one clean sheet in these six matches. Their goal difference is perfectly balanced at zero, having scored and conceded seven goals each. Interestingly, half of their matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. Despite their recent struggles, Cagliari have shown they can be potent in attack on their day, but their 15th position in the table suggests they need to find more consistency to climb away from the lower reaches of Serie A.

Recent home/away form

Bologna

Bologna have been in scintillating form at home, currently enjoying an impressive five-match winning streak across all competitions. Their last six home fixtures have seen them unbeaten, with five wins and a draw, showcasing their formidable presence at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. The Rossoblu have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 14 times in these six matches, averaging an impressive 2.33 goals per game. Notably, their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of these encounters featuring over 2.5 goals. Bologna's defensive record has also been solid, conceding just 1.17 goals per game, although they've managed only one clean sheet in this period. Their recent form has been crucial in propelling them to 6th position in Serie A, with 44 points from 26 games, and has even seen them secure a notable victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent away form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent success on the road. In their last six away matches, Cagliari have managed only one win, two draws, and three losses, indicating a difficult spell away from home. The Sardinian side have been particularly vulnerable defensively, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, whilst only scoring 0.67 goals per match themselves. Notably, Cagliari suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Juventus in the Coppa Italia, which stands out as their most significant loss in this run. On a positive note, they did manage to secure a respectable 1-1 draw against AC Milan and a clean sheet in their most recent away fixture against Atalanta. However, Cagliari's struggles on the road have contributed to their low league position, currently sitting in 15th place with just 25 points from 26 games.
