Udinese vs Bologna prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-11-21 14:00.
[p]Mid-table Udinese face fifth-placed Bologna in Serie A on Saturday aiming to maintain their recent performance levels at home and reduce the gap to the European spots.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Udinese’s search for back-to-back wins for the first time since mid-September continues as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Roma just before November’s international break, meaning that they are now four points off the European places. A return to the Bluenergy Stadium could provide a much-needed boost for Kosta Runjaić’s men though, as they have won three of their last four games there in all competitions (D1), including a 1-0 victory over Atalanta. Another strong display will be needed here, as that was only their second win at home against a member of last season’s top nine in Serie A (D2, L7) since the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign.[/p]
[p]An impressive 2-0 victory over reigning champions Napoli before the international break saw Bologna extend their unbeaten run to ten games in all competitions (W5, D5) to remain fifth in the Serie A table. Defensively, the Rossoblù have been solid recently, having kept three clean sheets in their last four matches, albeit with each shutout in that sequence having come at home. The visitors here have certainly improved on the road though, as after opening their campaign with three 1-0 away losses, they have scored at least twice in five consecutive outings on their travels, avoiding defeat each time (W3, D2). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]With eight of the last 11 H2Hs having ended level (Bologna: W2, L1), including each of the last three, another tight game could be in store here, with five of those draws finishing 1-1.[/p]
