Prediction published on 14/01/2024, 00:25  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Cagliari will look to bank on their impressive home record to upset the calculations of top-five chasing Bologna this weekend. This Serie A matchday 20 will be played in Sardinia at the Sardegna Arena or the Unipol Domus Stadium on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 17th with 15 points while the visitors are 5th with 32 points. Cagliari are in a tricky place because ahead of this round, the last four teams are separated by just three points. Depending on results, Cagliari could add a bit of buffer in their race to avoid the drop or be dragged into the bottom-three. They will be hoping for the former, especially as their recent form at home has been encouraging. Cagliari are unbeaten across their last five home league games, winning three and drawing two.

Bologna start this round just a point outside top-four, although eighth-placed Roma are lurking just three points behind. The visitors could substantiate their bid for a top-four finish, although recent form needs to be taken into account. They are winless in three games in all competitions, drawing one and losing two. Even in the league, they have just a single point across their last two matches. Yet, a run of four wins and a draw prior to this sequence gives hope that they are still in charge of their own destiny. A crucial factor could be their away form as Bologna have won just once across their nine away league games this season, drawing six.
