Udinese, currently 12th in Serie A, host fifth-placed Bologna at the Stadio Friuli on Monday, April 28th, at 17:30 GMT, in a match where the visitors will look to consolidate their position in the Champions League qualification zone. 

 

Udinese vs Bologna Form 

 

Udinese are in dreadful form, having lost their last five Serie A matches. In their most recent game, they suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Torino. The home side have also struggled to find the net, failing to score in their last three league games. 

 

Bologna, on the other hand, are enjoying a fine run of form and are undefeated in four of their last six matches. In their last match, they secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Inter, a result that saw them overtake Juventus into fourth place. The visitors will be buoyed by the fact that they recently secured a place in the Coppa Italia final against AC Milan.
