Bologna vs Udinese prediction 28.04.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 28th April 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK/15:00 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna)

After Serie A got another spot in the Champions League, Bologna are a few steps closer to their dreams of playing in the elite European competition for the first time. With only five more rounds left in the season, Thiago Motta's team is eight points ahead of sixth Atalanta, so Bologna needs a few more wins until a big celebration. Motta's team is in a good run of five games without a defeat. In the previous match, they won 3-1 on the road against AS Roma. The home six had an xG of 2.00, while guests had only 1.07, so Bologna were fortunate to pick up another victory. 

Udinese are part of Serie A for the last 29 seasons. Still, after 33 league rounds, They are only one position above the drop zone. Udinese need the best strecht of the season in the next few weeks to avoid relegation. Fabio Cannavaro's side lost the last three games in a row. On Thursday, Udinese played against AS Roma in a previously abandoned game due to Evan Ndicka's health concerns. Starting from the 73rd minute with the score tied at 1-1, Udinese fought valiantly, but AS Roma sealed their fate with a late goal in stoppage time. This defeat inches Udinese closer to the relegation. 

Bologna vs Udinese pick: Under 2.5 goals

Bologna have a great defense, as they allowed only two goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Udinese scored only three goals in the previous five games. We shouldn't expect Bologna and Udinese to have the game with more than two goals on Sunday afternoon.
