Bologna vs Cagliari Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.80 expected goals for Bologna and 0.99 for Cagliari, a combined total of 1.79. That distribution gives Cagliari the largest share of the 1X2 market at 39%, with the draw at 33%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 27% for over 2.5 goals and 35% for both teams to score, with 0–0 the single most likely scoreline at 17%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 39% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Draw/Away, at 71.6%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 35% and over 2.5 goals at 27%.

A 72% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
