While Cagliari finished fourteenth in the standings last year, Bologna placed eighth, yet this Serie A matchday 8 fixture turned the early table upside down as Bologna left with a 2-0 victory. Nicolo Casale broke the deadlock in the 57th minute after being set up by Juan Miranda, before Federico Bernardeschi converted a penalty in the 80th minute to seal the outcome. Casale earned a standout 8.4 rating for his efforts, while Bernardeschi picked up a 7.7 rating. Despite enjoying fifty-seven percent of the possession, Cagliari managed just a single shot on target from four total attempts, whereas Bologna put five of their ten shots on target and generated an expected goals total of 1.64.
Cagliari had started the term with four wins from their first seven outings, though they stumbled on matchday 8 following a heavy loss away at Monza in their most recent fixture. Bologna arrived having struggled for consistency, claiming just one victory across their opening seven matches despite having scored in three consecutive fixtures in all competitions. The visitors had also won their previous away meeting at this stadium on 19 October 2025, maintaining a strong recent record in this fixture that includes four wins from their last six encounters since 2023.
This result lifted Bologna from fifteenth to thirteenth in the table, while Cagliari remained eighth after suffering their second home defeat of the season. Following this fixture, Bologna sit eleven points behind league leaders Inter, and Cagliari are six points back from the summit. Cagliari will next play away at Roma on 27 October.
