Udinese vs Bologna Prediction 15 January 2023

When choosing a prediction for Udinese, we note a good match performed by the team against Juventus. Andrea Sottila's team played very strictly in the defense of their goal and had a couple of opportunities to score a goal. But again, the extraordinary actions of Gerard Deulofeu, who continues to heal the injury, were not enough in the attack. Udinese missed the decisive goal in the last minutes from the Torino team, having failed in defense. As a result, almost the only scoring moment of Juventus led to a goal. Udinese, after a series of unsuccessful matches, is gradually slipping into the middle of the Serie A standings and now occupies eighth place.

When creating a prediction for Bologna, we see that the team was covered by a wave of injuries of attacking players. All three players who can close the central striker position (Arnautovic, Barrow, Zirksee) are in the infirmary. It is unlikely that they will have time to recover for the match against Udinese. In the last round, Bologna lost to Atalanta 1-2. Having opened the scoring in the first half with the efforts of Ricardo Orsolini, who took advantage of the rebound and accurately shot from outside the penalty area, Tiago Motta's squad could not hold the advantage. Atalanta increased the pace in the second half and twice opened the gates of Bologna. After this defeat, the team dropped to 12th place.

Let's make a summary of the prediction for Udinese vs Bologna and offer the best option from this match. Even without the Spaniard Deulofeu, the hosts are rightly considered favorites. They make excellent use of standard positions, all the central defenders have returned to the formation, and a bunch of powerful Beto-Saxess attackers are acting quite well in attack. The guests are actually now playing without pronounced attackers, their role is alternately played by Orsolini and Sansone, which greatly affects the sharpness of attacks. Sottil's team approaches the match as the favorite and should take three points, but we will take it with a little safety net. Our prediction: Udinese win with a handicap of minus -0.25.
