Match summary

Cagliari vs Bologna is the Serie A Matchday 8 fixture at the Unipol Domus on Saturday 24 October 2026, and our model goes with a Bologna win, covering either side of the draw in the double chance.

Why this pick?

Our model's call is a Bologna win, and it rests mainly on the strength ratings: Bologna come out the better side over the long run, while Cagliari sit below the Serie A average. The obvious counterweight is home advantage at the Unipol Domus, where Cagliari have already beaten Lecce and drawn with Juventus this season. That local push does not close the gap, though, and our goal model reads the matchup the same way; the head-to-head leans towards Bologna too, with 14 wins in the 28 meetings since 2010. Even so, the call is narrow.
