A potentially historic season for Bologna continues this weekend, as the Italian side looks to strengthen their hold on a Champions League position when they come up against Udinese.
It has been a memorable campaign for Bologna in the Italian top-flight this term, as they are on course to achieve a Champions League finish. The Italian club currently sits seven points clear of fifth-place Roma, and their form across their last five matches has been incredibly consistent.
Bologna have recorded victories in three of their last five, and they are yet to suffer a defeat over that period. Their Champions League dreams were boosted on Monday evening after securing an important 3-1 success on the road against AS Roma. Oussama El Azzouzi opened the scoring, before second half efforts from Josh Zirkzee and Alexis Saelemaekers wrapped up a vital victory. At home, Bologna have been very solid throughout the campaign, winning 12 of their 17 matches, and suffering just two defeats.
There will also be pressure on the visiting team this weekend, as Udinese’s stay in the Italian top flight is under increasing pressure. The Italian side have lost three of their last four matches, and they are sitting outside of the relegation places on goal difference. A vital final month of the season will define their campaign.
A second straight defeat was inflicted in their previous outing, as they fell to a 1-0 away defeat against Hellas Verona. However, it could be worth mentioning that they have been slightly better on their travels this term after winning three of their four matches away from their fans. But, they have scored fewer goals on their travels.
Udinese landed a very rare win against Bologna in the reverse fixture this term, with their 3-0 success ending a seven-game winless sequence against their rivals. However, Bologna have also won just twice over that period, with five of the last eight clashes between the rivals ending in draws.
Udinese are without an away win against Bologna since 2017, but their chances of important points could be boosted by the sheer number of draws in previous encounters. However, Bologna remains the standout selection, as they look to close in on securing their Champions League finish in Serie A this term.
