🗞️ Team News: Bologna
With a completely injury-free group available for selection, the Bologna boss Vincenzo Italiano doesn’t have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this clash.
We believe Rossoblu appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Lukasz Skorupski, Emil Holm, T. Lysaker Heggem, Jhon Lucumi, C. Lykogiannis, Lewis Ferguson, Remo Freuler, Riccardo Orsolini, Jens Odgaard, Nicolo Cambiaghi and Santiago Castro.
✨ Prediction
We believe that Cagliari will do well to hit the back of the net against this Bologna team who we reckon will get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Bologna at full-time.
We’ll see what happens.
