Bologna take on the visitors Cagliari in the round of 1/16-finals of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Thursday, October 20th at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna).
Bologna is not particularly impressive this season. The"Red-blue" played for a long time under the leadership of Sinisa Mihajlovic. And the Serb, despite health problems, provided a consistently good result. For example, in the last Serie A draw, they managed to take a comfortable 13th place. But there was not the most successful start: 2 defeats and 3 draws. This was enough for Saputo to decide on coaching castling. There were options with Ranieri, but they relied on Thiago Motta. He started with a victory over Fiorentina, but then for a long time he could not repeat the success. Although he took at least a draw with Sampdoria, and Napoli lost minimally, 2-3, on the road in the last round. They even opened the score, then equalized, and only they could not answer to the third conceded goal.

Cagliari moved to Serie B in the spring. The Sardinians quickly went from a contender for European competition to a club, which took 18th place in the spring, which naturally led to relegation from Serie A. Of course, they would like to return there as soon as possible. And this task was entrusted to Fabio Liverani, a well-known footballer in the past, who showed himself well in Lecce precisely in carrying out the same tasks. But he failed in the season before last with Parma. So far, frankly, not everything works out for him, and victories alternate with defeats. By the way, as part of a good start, Perugia was also passed in early August with a score of 3-2. But in the last rounds of Serie B, there were failures, and Venice completely crashed them – 4-1.
The sides have fairly equal statistics in head-to-heads. Suffice it to recall that in both recent Serie A draws, from 2020 to 2022, the clubs strictly exchanged home wins. Bologna are not in the best shape, but still plays at home with a representative of the 2nd division of the country. So we are waiting for the victory of the hosts of the arena over the "islanders".
Prediction for the match: Bologna to win.
