Game: BOLOGNA vs CAGLIARI
Type: ITALIAN SERIE A
Date: 22 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Bologna will need no reminder as they recall the 1-5 mauling they received from Cagliari back in Nov 2008. Sitting on 17th position and 2pts above the relegation zone, the host is aware that every match from now on will be like a final to them. The team have shown glimpses of good form but a series of tough fixtures lately has seen them struggling to climb to safety. Despite only 3 wins at home so far, they are averaging a respectable 1.40 goals per match.
Cagliari, on the other hand, have had a series of fortunate results in their favour which saw them peaking to 9th spot. Most of their points have come from home, where they have amassed 8 wins and a total of 27pts. On the road, however, is where their problem lies. They concede an average of 1.71 goals per away match and scoring only a meagre 1.14 goals.
KWIK STATS
HOME > BOLOGNA
AWAY > CAGLIARI
THE PICK
Despite Cagliari's loftier position in the league, BOLOGNA looks capable of securing the much needed win at home. After all, Cagliari are known to be poor travelers in the league and head-to-head results favours the host.
