Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Cagliari will look to recover from a 2-0 loss to Udinese when they take on Bologna in the Serie A round 10. The Sardinians defeated Torino 3-2 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Tuesday’s clash. Republic of the Congo midfielder Antoine Makoumbou misses out through suspension, with Alessandro Deiola likely to step up. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, have been struggling in the Serie A ever since boss Thiago Motta left the club. As Bologna have recorded only one win in all competitions this season, we are tempted to put our money on Cagliari, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The likes of Cambiaghi, El Azzouzi, Erlic, Ferguson, and Aebischer are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, adding to their woes.
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.
