Just one point separates the two teams ahead of these Bologna vs. Udinese predictions for part of Sunday’s Serie A action. Andrea Sottil’s side are unbeaten in their last four games, while the home side are without a win in three.
Bologna vs. Udinese odds
1 – A draw at full-time – 11/4
2 – Both teams to score – 6/7
3 – Over 1.5 goals scored – 1/1
4 – Beto to score anytime – 8/5
5 – Udinese to win – 17/4
Udinese travel to face Bologna on Sunday morning hoping to protect their current run of form. The Zebrette have won consecutive games for the first time since their early season run, with the international break coming at the worst possible time.
For Bologna, the two weeks off will have been a welcome break, as Thiago Motta’s side have seen results fall off after a solid February points tally. The Rossoblu have been unlucky with injuries but will be looking to leapfrog their visitors with a win on Sunday.
In addition to the one-point disparity in the league table, recent clashes between the two sides suggest that the match at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara will be a close one. In fact, Bologna’s one-goal win in the reverse fixture was the first time in six that a team has emerged victorious in encounters between these two sides.
Looking at past results, a wager on yet another draw on Sunday could well pay off, while a bet on both teams to score is also statistically likely having occurred in all of the last six clashes.
Neither team has been particularly prolific in recent weeks, averaging just under 1.5 goals per game each. That having been said, there have been two or more goals scored in the last seven games between these sides, so a conservative bet on over 1.5 goals per game could well pay off.
The form of Udinese forward Beto may provide further evidence for a higher-scoring fixture on Sunday, with the Portuguese striker needing just one more to break into double digits for the season. Beto will have scored two more goals than any other player on the pitch at the Renato Dall’Ara and is our tip to score anytime.
With the number nine’s strong form replicated by the likes of Destiny Udogie and Roberto Pereyra, there is no reason why the visitors can’t carry their winning run forward and take all three points on Sunday.

Bologna team news
Thiago Motta’s injury crisis continues, with Andrea Cambiaso and Marko Arnautovic suffering new issues in the draw against Salernitana. Bologna are already without Kevin Bonifazi and Nicolas Dominguez through injury, but should see Riccardo Orsolini return to the starting line-up.
Udinese team news
There are no new injuries for Andrea Sottil to contend with, although the coach himself will be absent having been sent off against Milan. The Zebrette will have to make a number of changes though, as Rodrigo Becao, Nehuen Perez and Walace are all suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Gerard Deulofeu and Enzo Ebosse are also both long-term absences.
