Serie A action returns this Saturday as Cagliari host a completely out-of-sorts Bologna side in Sardinia. While historical head-to-heads slightly favor the visitors, the hosts look to exploit Bologna's tragic away record to secure three points. The visitors urgently need a tactical reset to climb out of the danger zone, especially since they have yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Let's look at the best betting angles.

Bologna holds the edge over the last few years, winning five of their last seven matchups. However, the two sides fought out a gritty 0-0 draw in their most recent encounter back in May. Historically, this tight fixture averages a modest 2.00 goals per game.
Cagliari team overview
Cagliari enters this one on the back of a humiliating 4-0 away drubbing against AC Monza. The Isolani have completely lost their early-season momentum.
Fabio Pisacane’s men are now looking to steady the ship after that reality check snapped their four match unbeaten streak, leaving them with 13 points from their opening 7 league matches.
Their form at Unipol Domus is a mix bag. They currently boast just one win in their last four games, losing to Inter and Verona, while drawing with Juventus.
Honestly, watching that defensive meltdown against Monza was brutal. They desperately need star forward Daniel Maldini, who has been an absolute revelation with 4 goals this season, to step up and dictate play.
Forward Yael Trepy remains completely out of action as he continues his long-term recovery from a serious summer swimming accident.

Bologna team overview
Bologna prepares for this one on the back of a painful 3-1 home defeat against Inter Milan. The Rossoblù look completely lost under their new guidance.
Raffaele Palladino’s men are rotting at the wrong end of the table with a miserable 5 points from their opening 7 games, failing to score in three outings.
Their performances on the road have been incredibly tragic. They are enduring a tough stretch away from home, losing their opening two away games 1-0 before finally bouncing back with a gritty 2-1 win at Lecce in their most recent trip.
Boss Raffaele Palladino will be heavily relying on forward Federico Bernardeschi, who has contributed 1 goal and a massive 9 shots on target, to finally spark their frontline into life.
Defender Nicolò Casale is fully fit and available, starting in their last match, though the backend is still under severe pressure after failing to keep a clean sheet this season.

Prediction
It is going to be incredibly tight. Don't expect any team to run away with it, especially since both sides desperately need to bounce back from heavy defeats. Personally, I am confidently backing a hard-fought 1-1 draw. Cagliari are traditionally tough to break down in Sardinia. Bologna finally found their shooting boots on the road at Lecce, so they definitely have enough quality to grab a vital point.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- All four of Cagliari’s home games this season have finished with under 2.5 goals.
- Bologna failed to score in three of their last five away games in Serie A.
- Three of the last four meetings between Cagliari and Bologna finished with under 2.5 goals.
