Udinese

DDWLWL ⚖

Udinese will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 2-0 Serie A defeat in their last game at the hands of Roma.

In that match, Udinese had 42% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Roma got 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Lorenzo Pellegrini (42') and Zeki Çelik (61') scored for Roma.

It’s not been often in recent times where Udinese have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Udinese have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals on the way.

A look at their previous results shows us that Udinese:

• have not been beaten in the league by Bologna in their last 4 games.
• have left without a victory over Bologna in their last 3 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 3 home league matches.

Bologna

WDDWDW 📈

Bologna will come into the match following on from a 2-0 Serie A win as they beat SSC Napoli in their previous fixture.

In that match, Bologna had 41% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For Bologna, the goalscorers were Thijs Dallinga (50') and Jhon Lucumí (66'). For their opponents, Napoli got 4 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.

A series of outstanding displays from the Bologna defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their previous 6 outings in total. In that time, their own forwards have managed to score 9. We shall soon see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on here.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Bologna:

• have not won against Udinese in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches away from home.

ℹ️ Team News: Udinese

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Udinese boss Kosta Runjaić to be concerned about due to a largely intact squad. Thomas Kristensen (Hamstring muscle injury) will miss out.

It seems likely that Bianconeri Friuliani should make use of the 3-5-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Maduka Okoye, Nicolo Bertola, Christian Kabasele, Oumar Solet, Alessandro Zanoli, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Jesper Karlstroem, Arthur Atta, Hassane Kamara, Nicolo Zaniolo and Adam Buksa.

📰 Team News: Bologna

Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano has a number of players out of action. Ciro Immobile (Hamstring strain), Emil Holm (muscular problems), Nicolò Cambiaghi (Calf problems), Jonathan Rowe (Hamstring muscle injury), Remo Freuler (Broken collarbone) and Lukasz Skorupski (Muscle injury) are not able to play.

From our viewpoint, Rossoblu seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Federico Ravaglia, Lorenzo De Silvestri, Nicolo Casale, T. Lysaker Heggem, Juan Miranda, Nikola Moro, Tommaso Pobega, Riccardo Orsolini, Giovanni Fabbian, Benjamin Dominguez and Santiago Castro.

💭 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Udinese might need a bit of good fortune to register a score against this Bologna outfit who should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We’re therefore seeing a very even match with a 0-1 victory for Bologna at the end of this game.

Should be a close one.
