Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna and Cagliari go head to head at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in what is expected to be an interesting Serie A game. Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men have been having their ups and downs in the first half of the season, and, as a result, they sit in 10th position in the standings. Bologna aim to move closer to the Europa League berth, and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Key attacker Marko Arnautovic is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Sardinians, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table. Cagliari failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Fiorentina (0-3) and Roma (1-2), and seeing that Bologna are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are likely to return to Sardinia empty-handed. All Rog, Strootman, Dalbert, Godin, Ceter, Nandez, and Caceres have been struggling with injuries of late for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Stefano Denswil):
Stefano Denswil is a product of Ajax football academy. The Dutch centre-back, who was born in Zaandam on May 7, 1993, scored one goal in 22 appearances in the Eredivisie for Ajax before joining Club Brugge in 2015. Denswil quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Club Brugge and it has to be noted that he scored his first goal for the Blauw-Zwart in December 2015 in a 4-1 loss to Anderlecht.
Speaking of his international career, Stefano Denswil has seven caps with Netherlands U21 team, but, outside of football, the Club Brugge practices kickboxing. Stefano Denswil’s preferred foot is left, but he is not used as a left-back. His main position is centre-back and his contract with Club Brugge should expire in June, 2020.
Denswil has three Eredivisie titles with Ajax and he won his second Belgian Pro League trophy with Club Brugge in the 2017/2018 season. Denswil wears No. 24 jersey at the Jan Breydel Stadium outfit.
Highlighted Team (Cagliari):
Cagliari are a professional football club based in Cagliari, Sardinia. I Rossoblu (The Red and Blues) compete in Italian Serie A and the club’s biggest success came in 1970, when they won the national championship.
Cagliari finished the season in top position in the standings, four points clear of Juventus and it has to be noted that Luigi Riva led Cagliari to their first Serie A trophy.
I Rossoblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Sant’Elia and the capacity of the stadium is 16,000. In the 1993/1994 season Cagliari made it to the UEFA Cup semis, with the team suffering a loss to fellow Italian club Inter in the two-legged tie.
Giuseppe Pancaro helped Cagliari record a 3-2 win over Inter in the first leg, but I Rossoblu were hammered by the Nerazzurri in the second leg (3-0). Palermo are regarded as Cagliari’s main rivals and the two teams square off against each other in the Derby delle Isole.
