Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Udinese will look to put an end to their six-game winless run when they take on Bologna on Matchday 18. The Zebrette have been struggling at the back of late and, no doubt, they face a difficult task against Bologna, who sit in the Champions League berth. All Vivaldo, Keinan Davis, Jaka Bijol, Enzo Ebosse, and Gerard Deulofeu should miss out with injuries.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Italian top flight and given Udinese’s anything but good form, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting side. In their last meeting in the Serie A Bologna defeated Udinese 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Both Jesper Karlsson and Adama Soumaoro are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
