Bologna FC are looking for their second win in the Serie A, as they face Cagliari Calcio, who are aiming to bounce back from their recent loss. From their 32 meetings, Bologna scored 13 wins, as opposed to Cagliari‘s 11 wins. Bologna only score one win in the contest, putting them at the 12th of the league table with just nine points. Additionally, when it comes to playing away from home, Bologna are not doing well away from home, which they want to end. On the other hand, Cagliari are no better as they are at the 14th of the league table with nine points as well. Heading into this match, Cagliari is coming from an unfortunate loss, making them eager to bounce back. The meeting between these two teams is on October 30, 2024, at 1:30 AM (GMT+8).
Bologna FC
Bologna’s scheduled match with Milan has been postponed due to flooding in Emilia-Romagna, with Lega Serie A suggesting a new date of February. Bologna’s debut campaign has started slowly, with only one point from three league-phase matches without scoring. The Emilian club has fared less well in Serie A, with six draws from eight league games and level with Cagliari in the standings. Vincenzo Italiano’s side has seen eight points drop from winning positions so far, including a two-goal lead in Genoa. Italiano is keen to quell criticism by securing a victory in Sardinia to maintain their position in the league.
Bologna’s Vincenzo Italiano may limit rotation due to rest and a demanding fixture list. Santiago Castro and Thijs Dallinga vie for front-line leadership. Cambiaghi, El Azzouzi, Erlic, and Ferguson are sidelined, but Aebischer could return.
Cagliari Calcio
Cagliari’s hopes of a victory over Udinese were dashed when Antoine Makoumbou was sent off for a second yellow card. The team was a goal behind eight minutes into the contest, and Keinan Davis scored the hosts’ second goal. This results in their fourth league defeat of the season. This leaves Cagliari in the bottom half of the table, facing a tough run of fixtures. They have won over Carrarese and Cremonese earlier this season, setting up a meeting with Juve in the Coppa Italia’s last 16. Before that tie, Cagliari must face Lazio, Milan, Fiorentina, and Atalanta BC. They will play against Bologna, who have a 2-1 record against them in their last meeting in Sardinia.
Davide Nicola must make a change to Cagliari’s team on Tuesday due to Antoine Makoumbou’s suspension and the race for return from injuries of Jankto and Pavoletti. He may recall Zito Luvumbo and Nadir Zortea for a more attacking lineup.
