Udinese vs Bologna tips and predictions

All results up for debate in even Serie A encounter

This looks destined to be an evenly contested game. Given these odds available the home side is favoured to get a result. It feels like a game to just sit back and enjoy.

You may not agree but Udinese might have reasons to be confident about adding to Bologna's woes. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 6 losses from their last 10 away trips. While they've obviously had different opposition, that doesn't look like the record of a team that has prepared correctly for this.

The hosts have been building up a head of steam in their previous performances. I Bianconeri scored three or more times in 3 of their recent 8 matches while their defensive line has also received plaudits. The data shows that they've conceded no more than once in 13 of their last 16 home games.

Bologna can be hit when they lose their shape. They're conceding an average of 2.6 goals in their last 14 matches. This might not be superb preparation ahead of this match.

Udinese have won 8 of the last 14 fixtures between these sides.

It's not easy to be sure about what's lying in store. The sportsbooks are predicting both sides to get in on the act as they could be well matched. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive on this occasion. As far as the goal line is concerned, it's Over 2.5 Goals that stands out here given these prices.
