Cagliari will take on Bologna in Serie A Week 10 on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari, Italy, starting at 18:30. Since their 1-1 draw on July 1, 2020, Cagliari has triumphed in all six subsequent encounters with Bologna in Serie A, with each team claiming three victories.

The home side has been particularly strong, winning their last five home matches against Bologna in the league. In fact, Cagliari has only achieved more consecutive home wins against two teams in their Serie A history: Ascoli (six wins from 1980 to 2007) and Sampdoria (eight wins from 1970 to 1982).

Stats before the game

After winning all of their first three Serie A matches played between Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday against Cagliari, Bologna have failed to find any success in the following four (1D, 3L). After the 2-2 draw in the last round against Genoa, Bologna have drawn six of their first eight Serie A games of the season for only the second time in their history, after 1989/90. Considering the first nine games of the season, they have never recorded seven draws in the top flight.

Bologna have not won any of their last seven Serie A matches played on Tuesday (D3 L4), without finding the back of the net in four of them; the Emilians had found success in all of their previous five matches played on this day of the week in the tournament.

Cagliari won their last home match in Serie A (3-2 vs Torino), after remaining winless in their previous seven (D4 L3); the Sardinians have not obtained two consecutive home wins in the competition since the period between October and November 2023, against Frosinone and Genoa in that case.

Bologna have scored exactly two goals in each of their last three away games in Serie A (W1 D2) and have not reached at least four consecutive away games in the competition with at least two goals scored since February-April 2004 (six in that case).

Player Stats

Zito Luvumbo's first goal in Serie A came against Bologna, on 2 September 2023; the Emilian team could become the first to concede more than one goal from the Sardinian striker in the top flight.

Nikola Moro has provided six assists in Serie A (three of which for Riccardo Orsolini), including the last one against Genoa; five of these winning passes have also led to an away goal and since his debut season in the competition (2022/23) only four midfielders have provided more winning passes in away games than the Croatian: Aleksey Miranchuk, Mario Pasalic (seven each), Luis Alberto and Christian Pulisic (six each).

After not having been involved in any goals in his first six appearances against Cagliari in Serie A, Riccardo Orsolini has been involved in three goals in his last five matches against the Sardinians in the top flight: two goals and one assist, including the goal scored in the last precedent between these two teams on 14 January. The Bologna striker scored in the most recent match against Genoa and could find the net in two consecutive league games for the first time since last February.
