Bologna form and stats
3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Bologna so far this season.
Bologna are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Napoli. The versatile forward Riccardo Orsolini bettered all others in that match and managed a match rating of 7.15 out of 10. Orsolini hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times.
Preceding that match was the home game against Milan that was lost 2-4.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Bologna's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won one match, drawn one and lost one.
Bologna can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 11 times. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.
Cagliari form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Cagliari, who have the fewest points (1) away in Serie A, playing as the away team in the Serie A this season. Cagliari seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Cagliari's previous game was their home loss versus Roma (1-2). Raoul Bellanova got a match rating of 7.14 in that game, top player of the team. Bellanova hit the woodwork once, served one assist and hit two key passes.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fiorentina wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Cagliari playing away, we found six games. Results were zero away wins, four draws and two home wins.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Cagliari concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the prior ten meetings involving these two sides are: three wins for Bologna, four draws and three wins for Cagliari. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
