Federico Santander leads the way with Diego Falcinelli.
Bologna are without an away victory in Serie A since the trip to Chievo in December 2017, scraping just three draws in their last 13 fixtures.
Cagliari are struggling badly at the moment with three home stalemates on the bounce, so a fourth would be a run not registered since September 2005.
Changes are forced on Coach Rolando Maran, as Ragnar Klavan and Charalampos Lykogiannis are unavailable, but Luca Ceppitelli returns for a spot on the bench.
Artur Ionita is chosen as the trequartista, pushing Joao Pedro up to support Leonardo Pavoletti.
Cagliari haven’t beaten Bologna here since 2012 when Radja Nainggolan got the decisive goal.
Cagliari: Cragno; Srna, Romagna, Pisacane, Padoin; Castro, Bradaric, Barella; Ionita; Joao Pedro, Pavoletti
