AI match recap

Cagliari return home needing an immediate response after their heavy defeat at Monza, but their recent league work before that setback was much stronger. Bologna arrive with a difficult attacking selection problem, as the absence of both Orsolini and Piccoli removes their established right-sided threat and a natural focal point. The visitors still carry a useful recent defensive record in this fixture, while Cagliari's home intensity and desire to repair the Monza performance should make the opening phase fierce. Expect a tight match shaped by the centre-forward choice for Bologna and Cagliari's ability to sustain their press.

Head-to-head analysis

Bologna have held the upper hand in the recent series, particularly at the Unipol Domus where their latest visits have brought clean-sheet victories. The most recent overall meeting ended level, underlining how tight this pairing can become when the first goal does not arrive early.

Injuries and absences

Cagliari lose Felici's attacking width and Idrissi's depth, but Bologna's absences are more structurally disruptive: Orsolini removes a proven right-sided threat and Piccoli's injury leaves Palladino without his established striker. The visitors must choose between Dovbyk's box occupation, Enem's linking play and Odgaard's mobility.
