Udinese will be looking to make it three Serie A-wins in a row in when they travel to Renato Dall’Ara on Saturday afternoon to take on Bologna. The two clubs are separated by just one point in the Italian top flight standings, with the hosts occupying 10th spot, having collected 37 points from 27 games, while the visitors are sitting one place above them. Bologna are heading into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw away to Salernitana prior to the international break, while the visitors secured an impressive 3-1 win over the reigning champions AC Milan.
Bologna ended the month of February with a memorable 1-0 win over Inter Milan at home thanks to Ricardo Orsolini’s second-half effort. But since then, the Petronians have gone on a three-game winless streak, drawing two and losing one. Last time out, the Red and Blues twice came from behind to earn a point against Salernitana courtesy of goals from Lewis Ferguson and Chatalampos Lykogiannis at Stadio Arechi. Meanwhile Rossoblu have a pretty decent home-record in the league this term, collecting 23 points from a possible 42 in front of their own supporters. The Felsinians are unbeaten in the last six top flight encounters against Udinese and posted a 2-1 win in January’s reverse fixture thanks to second half efforts from Nicola Sansone and Stefan Posch after Beto gave an early lead to the White and Blacks at Dacia Arena.
Udinese, on the other hand, are heading into the match high on confidence having secured a convincing victory over AC Milan last time out. Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s penalty kick on the stroke of half-time canceled out Roberto Pereyra’s ninth-minute opener, before Beto restored Udinese’s lead just before the half-time whistle. And then, Kingsley Ehizibue’s 70th-minute effort sealed Udinese’s ninth top flight victory of the season. Having previously edged out Empoli 1-0 and held Atlanta to a goalless draw, Adrea Sottil’s side have also conceded just once in their last three games.
Bologna Probable Starting Lineup: Skorupski, Posch, Lucumi, Soumaoro, Lykogiannis, Schouten, Dominguez, Orsolini, Ferguson, Kyriakapoulos, Barrow
Udinese Probable Staring Lineup: Silvestri, Ebosele, Bijol, Masina, Ehizibue, Arslan, Lovric, Samardzic, Udogie, Pereyra, Beto.
