Although Bologna were a little unlucky in their narrow defeat at high-flying Atalanta over the weekend, the result meant it was no wins in 4 for manager Roberto Donadoni – in fact, they have won just 2 of their last 13 Serie A fixtures. Unsurprisingly they have kept only 2 clean sheets during that horrible sequence of results.
With just 1 defeat in their last 7 Serie A games, Udinese are enjoying a strong finish to their 2016/17 campaign. They have averaged over 2 goals a game during their run, although they have been far from secure at the back, keeping just 1 clean sheet along the way – in fact, they have stopped the opposition scoring in just 3 of their last 17 in all competitions.
In the reverse fixture between the sides back on December 5th, the last gasp Danilo goal handed Udinese a valuable 1-0 victory to kickstart a run of 3 straight Serie A victories. Read our expert match prediction and Bologna vs Udinese betting tips below.
Although recent fixtures have been kind to Udinese, you can only beat what’s in front of you and the Bianconeri Friuliani have been generating some decent momentum over the past few weeks. Bologna, on the other hand, have failed to score a goal in 3 of their last 4, but it’s only fair that we acknowledge that their recent fixtures have been very tricky. I think a share of the points is likely at the Stadio Renato Dell’Ara.
Unibet’s odds of 21/10 for the game to finish as a draw outright look decent, while the same bookmaker has odds of 3/4 for both sides to score – that should be a solid selection given both teams struggles at the back.
