Cagliari, Recent FormCagliari will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Lecce last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Lecce, who had 15 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 16 of their 19 games overall.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at The Unipol Domus and recording 3 wins in that same period.
Bologna, Recent FormBologna manager Thiago Motta will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Genoa. They came away from that fixture with a 71% share of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to Genoa, who managed 3 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 8 clean sheets in 19 games.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 9 away league games.
On an individual basis, Joshua Zirkzee will be looking to cause Cagliari some problems having scored 5 goals in Bologna's last 6 away games in the league.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Bologna.
When playing away from home in the league, I Rossoblù have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 matches against Cagliari.
Cagliari has had a good run of league results at home to Bologna, winning their last 4 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 6.
Cagliari manager Claudio Ranieri has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jakub Jankto (Muscle), Gianluca Lapadula (Rib), Marko Rog (Cruciate ligament) and Eldor Shomurodov (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Jesper Karlsson (Knee) and Adama Soumaoro (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Thiago Motta will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
