The final weeks of the Serie A season include teams who have effectively already finished and these Bologna vs. Udinese predictions hint at a mid-table tie. Both teams will be confident of already avoiding relegation, but a European qualification spot looks to be beyond them in the run-in.
Bologna vs. Udinese odds
1 – The draw – 12/5
2 – Over 1.5 total goals – 1/3
3 – Bologna under 1.5 total goals – 1/2
4 – BTTS – Yes – 7/9
5 – 1-1 draw – 6/1
Udinese’s Serie A trip away at Bologna is a mid-table showdown in the weekend’s action, as it pits 12th against 13th at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. Neither side are in any real danger of being dragged into a relegation battle in the coming weeks, with a win each in the final straight mathematically guaranteeing them safety. However, both sides are almost 20 points away from the European places.
Visitors Udinese do head into the game in better recent form with three consecutive wins, but Bologna have picked up a solid return of seven points from their own last three outings. That closeness in form makes it difficult to pick a clear favourite, and with neither side having anything left to play for this season, a tight draw is a strong option this weekend.
Both teams have also maintained a consistent goalscoring return in recent weeks, with Bologna averaging a goal per 90 minutes this month. Udinese, meanwhile, have a record of just under three goals a game in that same run of fixtures.
Bologna’s less prolific streak puts them at a disadvantage, but they do tend to at least get on the scoresheet in home games. They’ve netted four goals in six home matches since the start of 2022. However, with Udinese in such fantastic form in front of goal, it will be difficult for the hosts to keep a clean sheet in this one. Sinisa Mihajlovic’s charges have only managed three shutouts in their last nine games.
A 1-1 draw would edge both teams closer to their goal of confirming top-flight safety. It’d maintain Bologna’s unbeaten run, while breaking Udinese’s winning streak at three games.

Bologna team news
Bologna will be forced into a serious reshuffle this weekend, with key pair Gary Medel and Adama Soumaoro both serving one-match bans after being sent off at Juventus last weekend. Star man Marko Arnautovic is also rated as doubtful to start after picking up an ankle injury in Turin.
