Bologna vs Udinese Predictions

• Bologna have won nine of their last 12 outings
• Udinese’s last three matches have ended in defeat
• The hosts are on a run of three clean sheets in four outings

Bologna heading back to Europe

Bologna have not qualified for any form of European competition this century, but a remarkable run of nine wins from 12 outings sees the club sitting comfortably in a UEFA Champions League qualification place.

It really would be incredible if Thiago Motta’s side were to finish in the top four, and they have an incredible sequence of results at home to thank for their lofty position.

Across all competitions, a dozen of the Red and Blues last 15 fixtures at Stadio Renato DallAra have ended in victory, keeping a remarkable 11 clean sheets in the process.

Indeed, no team in Serie A has conceded fewer goals at home than Bologna’s eight.

Udinese in need of points

That will strike fear into visitors Udinese, who were most recently in action on Thursday night, when they played the final 18 minutes of an originally suspended game against Roma.

Resuming at 1-1, the match eventually finished 2-1, meaning the Little Zebras have lost three successive matches, while winning only once in nine outings, five of which have ended in defeat.

As such, Fabio Cannavaro’s side sit outside the Serie A relegation zone only on goal difference, and their away form is a major cause of concern.

They have won only two of their last ten fixtures on the road, losing five times and failing to score in four of those defeats.

I predict that Bologna will win this game to nil, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
