Bologna vs Udinese Predictions

• Four of Udinese’s last six games have contained goals at both ends.
• Bologna, meanwhile, have seen both teams score in six of their last 11 Serie A matches.
• Bologna claimed a 2-1 victory over the Zebrette in January’s return fixture.

‘Best of the rest’ tag at stake on Sunday?

With Serie A’s top seven appearing to be set in stone, both Bologna and Udinese will have the title of Italy’s best of the rest in their sights as the Serie A run-in approaches, and Sunday’s head-to-head meeting between the sides should provide plenty of intrigue. While Bologna have only lost two of their last 10 league matches, Udinese are unbeaten in four after shaking off a poor run of form, and punters should expect entertainment when they face off at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Thiago Motta’s hosts signed off for the international break with a 2-2 draw at Salernitana, extending their winless run to three games, but they have a decent record on their own turf of late. Bologna have only lost one of their last five home matches, beating Inter Milan and drawing with second-placed Lazio in their last two in front of their own fans. Six of Bologna’s last 11 league matches have contained goals at both ends, and with the Rossoblu ranking sixth in Serie A for average possession share this term, they should be expected to adopt a proactive approach on Sunday.

Udinese made it back-to-back victories with a highly impressive – and deserved – 3-1 win over AC Milan in their last game. Andrea Sottil’s men have gone four matches unbeaten after previously recording just one win in over four months, and the Zebrette’s decision to stand by their boss appears a wise one. Udinese have consistently entertained this season, boasting Serie A’s seventh-best attacking record, though four of their last six matches have contained goals at both ends.

Both sides can net in lively affair

With Bologna earning plaudits for their positive style and Udinese turning a corner of late, it’s difficult to separate these evenly-matched sides ahead of Sunday’s contest, so we’re advising punters to neglect the result markets and back both teams to score.

Meanwhile, Bologna posted a 2-1 victory over the Zebrette in January’s return fixture, and a repeat of that scoreline could represent a solid correct score play.
