Udinese lacks victory
—
After a series of six wins in a row, the Friulians have not won again in their last nine league games (D6, L3). Udinese have not recorded a longer streak of games without a win in Serie A since May 2018 (14 in that case). Bologna have lost their last two matches and in all of 2022 only once have the rossoblù suffered three defeats in a row (it was last January).
Prediction: X + Goal
—
Udinese and Bologna have drawn their most recent five league encounters. That’s why the X sign can be a good chance combined with Goal: 4.50 for Bet365, 4.40 for Sisal and 4.30 for Starcasino Bet.
Statistics and background
—
Udinese have remained unbeaten in nine of their last ten matches (W4, D5) against Bologna: the Rossoblù’s only success in the period came on 30 September 2018 (2-1 at the Dall’Ara). In addition, Bologna have won only one of the thirteen most recent away games (D6, L6) against the Friulians in Serie A: 0-1, on 14 February 2016, thanks to a goal by Destro.
