Bologna achieved a 1-0 away victory against Brann in the Europa League last week, marking their second consecutive win across all competitions and showing signs of recovery in form. With several key players returning from injury, Bologna has regained some energy amidst a busy schedule. Their overall performance has improved, demonstrating stable offensive output, good teamwork, and effective control of the game’s rhythm, with notable improvements on both ends of the pitch. It’s worth mentioning that Bologna ranks fourth in Serie A for goals scored in open play, and their set pieces have proven to be a highly efficient scoring method, placing them among the league’s best in scoring efficiency.
Udinese, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Sassuolo, extending their losing streak to two matches. Udinese primarily employs a three-center-back system with a focus on defensive counter-attacks. Their attack heavily relies on individual performances, with Keinan Davis being the team’s top scorer, having netted seven goals this season. However, Davis is currently sidelined due to an adductor injury, which is a significant blow to Udinese, inevitably diminishing their attacking sharpness. Moreover, Udinese’s biggest issue lies in defense, having conceded 38 goals in the league, averaging 1.5 goals per match. They are also the second-most penalized team in Serie A this season, frequently committing unnecessary fouls in the box.
Overall, Bologna is clearly superior to Udinese in both strength and form. With Bologna’s recent resurgence contrasted by Udinese’s declining performances, it’s reasonable to expect Bologna to continue their momentum and secure all three points in this match.
