[Football- Italy 'Serie A'] 11.1/ 20:45 Cagliari - Bologna

The match was scheduled to take place on Sunday, but it was moved to today. A COVID-19 problem in the visiting camp over the past week has forced the local health authorities to force the team into isolation, resulting in a controversial postponement of their meeting with Inter on Thursday. Under farcical circumstances, Inter had already traveled to Bologna to prepare as normal for the game before authorities stepped in and canceled the game at the last minute, since then the team was given a period of isolation until midnight on Sunday, which meant their departure to Cagliari the same day became became impossible, so the match was postponed by two days and the visitors could not train until then.

In both teams, the list of those absent before this meeting is long, but it looks much worse on the side of visitors due to the aforementioned problem, injuries and appointments to the African Cup of Nations. The hosts, after a series of 11 matches without a win (0-4-7), started the spring round in a dramatic situation in 19th place in the table, but last Thursday they broke this infamous trend by winning quite unexpectedly but deservedly on the difficult terrain in Sampdoria 2: 1 where according to observers presented themselves very favorably and were a better team. So, is this a sign of better form and improvement in the game?

Bologna played their last game before Christmas on 22.12 beating Sassuolo 3-0 at the exit. It was the first win after a series of 3 defeats, but it is difficult to say anything more specifically about the current disposition of visitors after a 3-week break, in addition, the above-mentioned staffing and training problems certainly do not make it easier for the guest trainer to choose the optimal composition. Today, the locals give more chances to win due to the advantage of their own field and the fact of a better game in the last league clash. Cagliarii, looking at the situation in the table, must reach 3 points at all costs. being still in the relegation zone but reducing the distance to the higher teams. Of course, I am not entirely sure if the game will take place, looking at the total confusion around the visiting team, but if the players are allowed to play, I count on the local win.
