The Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna hosts a Serie A Matchday 35 encounter on 3 May 2026 as Bologna welcome Cagliari in a fixture that carries real importance for the home side as they push to secure European football for next season. Bologna sit eighth in the Serie A table with 48 points, having put together an impressive run of form in the second half of the campaign that has kept their European ambitions very much alive. Cagliari, sitting 16th with 33 points, arrive with their own pressing concerns, needing to continue picking up points to ensure their safety from relegation with just four matches remaining in the 2025-26 season.
Kick-off is scheduled for 12:30 PM CEST at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, Bologna.
Bologna: Europa League Still in Their Sights
Bologna have been one of the more pleasantly surprising sides in Serie A during the second half of the 2025-26 campaign. With 48 points from 34 matches, they sit eighth in the table but are pushing to finish as high as possible and potentially claim a Europa Conference League spot depending on how the final standings and Coppa Italia results play out. Manager Vincenzo Italiano has built a cohesive and hard-working squad that is difficult to beat at the Dall’Ara, and their home form has been one of the key pillars of their season.
Their most recent results have been encouraging. A 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Juventus was a setback, but before that they had produced some competitive performances against quality opposition. The squad remains motivated to finish the season strongly and give their passionate supporters something to celebrate in the final weeks of the campaign.
Cagliari’s form away from home has been inconsistent throughout the season, which gives Bologna a genuine platform to take all three points here and boost their final league position heading into the last few fixtures.
Cagliari: Survival Secured but Pride at Stake
Cagliari’s position in the Serie A table, 16th with 33 points, means their top-flight survival is effectively secure for another season. The Sardinian club have enough of a gap above the relegation zone to approach these final fixtures without the most acute pressure, but pride, professional standards, and the desire to finish as high as possible in the standings remain powerful motivating factors for the players and coaching staff.
Away from the Unipol Domus, Cagliari have found it difficult to pick up points consistently throughout the season, and a trip to eighth-placed Bologna represents one of their more challenging remaining fixtures. Their recent results have been mixed, with the squad showing enough quality at times to compete against mid-table opponents but lacking the consistency to put together the sustained run that would have moved them more comfortably clear of the danger zone earlier in the season.
