Cagliari - Bologna predictions

Cagliari have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Bologna. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Bologna are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 2.52 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

Cagliari’s 1:1 draw in the previous round may seem like a mediocre result at best, but the path to it wasn’t easy. They were losing at half-time as a visiting team against considerably stronger opponents - Lecce , and it took a lot of effort to equalize after that point.

The away team are here on the back of a 1:1 home draw which they had to struggle to earn in the recent showdown against Genoa. The betting odds were more or less balanced, but Bologna played most of that match from behind.

Cagliari have no reason to feel overly confident heading into the Sunday clash against Bologna. With 15 to their name, the hosts are sitting in a $TABLE POSITION place. They are staring at the abyss and will have a difficult task ahead of them in the closing stages of the season.

After playing 20 games in the season so far, Bologna are number 5th in the standings. They’d need 1 point to realize any ambitions for the Champions League. There’s plenty of time to climb the table, but a victory at Cagliari would be excellent for morale.

The home team’s lineup has been severely impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries. Specifically, Elio Capradossi, Jacopo Desogus, Gianluca Lapadula, Jakub Jankto, Eldor Shomurodov are all away due to injury-related reasons. This makes their chances of beating the visiting side even slimmer and should be a major consideration before choosing to bet one way or the other.

The 2.52 on an Away Win are obviously favourable, though it would be presumptuous to say it’s already in the bag. Still, it’s a fairly probable outcome and a good offer to take at Betsson in terms of betting value.
