Cagliari Preview – Can Cagliari get the important three points?
Cagliari are third from bottom in Serie A at the moment, four points from safety.
So they still have a lot of work to do, but there was a positive for them in their latest match.
Cagliari took a 2-1 away win at Sampdoria in their latest action.
That was just the second league success of the entire campaign for them and it snapped a three-match losing streak.
Incidentally both of their league victories this season happened against Sampdoria.
In the match outright for Tuesday’s match, the win for Cagliari is at 15/8* (odds recorded 21:26 GMT on January 9th 2022 at William Hill).
How badly they could use these three points too.
It has been a W1 D4 L5 home record posted by Cagliari in Serie A this season.
In their five home matches this season against other current bottom-six teams, Cagliari are W1 D3 L1.
There has been no home clean sheet recorded by Cagliari this season.
When Cagliari went to Bologna earlier this season they suffered a 2-0 loss.
But there is some home form from Cagliari in the head to head record against this opponent.
Cagliairi have won their last three on the spin at home against Bologna.
If they were to come up with the win then it wouldn’t likely be by a wide margin.
So the Cagliari to win by a 1 goal margin could be an option to consider for Serie A football betting.
Their last two home victories against Bologna have been by one goal only.
Bologna Preview – Visitors to be competitive
Bologna were on a three-match losing streak in the league before earning a win in their final fixture before the winter break.
That was a 3-0 road win at Sassuolo.
That gave Bologna their third away success in this campaign (D2 L4).
It’s well worth noting that all three of those away wins have come inside their last four on the road.
In the match tonight for football betting, the win for Bologna is at a quote of 29/20* (odds recorded 21:26 GMT on January 9th 2022 at William Hill).
Two of the three wins that Bologna have taken on the road this season have been against the bottom six teams.
Their record this season of home and away games against teams who are currently in that bottom six reads W4 D1 L1.
So the visitors should have a chance in this one.
They have hit the back of the net in each of their last four on the road.
