Udinese, Recent FormIt's fair to say Udinese will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Torino, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 38% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Torino who had 14 attempts and 4 on target.
Having lost 14 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Gabriele Cioffi will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've not been beaten at Stadio Friuli in 5 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 5 games there, the I Bianconeri fans will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win at home again.
Lorenzo Lucca will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Udinese.
Bologna, Recent FormBologna will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Atalanta. They came away from that fixture with a 60% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Atalanta, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Thiago Motta will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
With 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Joshua Zirkzee has given the travelling Bologna support something to shout about on the road.
After a good 3-0 win for Bologna in this pair's last league encounter, Udinese will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Udinese have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against I Rossoblù.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Bologna has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Udinese in 7 games.
Udinese manager Gabriele Cioffi has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jaka Bijol (Ankle), Keinan Davis (Calf), Gerard Deulofeu (Cruciate ligament), Enzo Ebosse (Cruciate ligament), Vivaldo Semedo (Muscle) and Brenner Souza da Silva (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thiago Motta has a number of injury concerns in his Bologna squad to contend with: Jesper Karlsson (Knee), Riccardo Orsolini (Hamstring) and Adama Soumaoro (Cruciate ligament)
