Our Predictions
Bologna have won 3 of the last 5 meetings and are unbeaten in their last away game against Cagliari. With stronger squad depth and Cagliari missing key players, Bologna's odds of 2.20 offer good value.
Recent matches between these teams are usually low-scoring. Only 1 of the last 5 meetings saw over 2 goals. Odds of 1.73 for under 2.5 goals reflect this trend.
Cagliari struggle to score and Bologna have a solid defence. With both sides missing attacking options, odds of 1.80 for BTTS No look strong.
