Udinese form and stats

Udinese have collected 13 points from their Serie A home games so far after 3-4-1. Two draws in a row at home now for Udinese.

The followers are hoping that Udinese will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Juventus (placed 2nd). Walace (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.3/10. Walace hit one key pass and had 48 successful passes (of 52 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Empoli.

An interesting fact: 9 of the most recent 12 league matches from these players have had goals from both teams.

The Udinese fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 8 league matches. Udinese are not conceding a lot of goals here at Dacia Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Bologna form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bologna so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose). Bologna has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The manager Motta was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. Bologna suffered a 1-2 loss to Atalanta (placed 6th). Orsolini got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, top player of the team. Orsolini scored one goal and hit two key passes.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Roma wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Bologna are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Bologna now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Coppa Italia game at Lazio is waiting in only four days.

For Bologna, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Udinese have avoided a loss in the last 8 matches (3-5-0) against Bologna.
