Bologna remained unbeaten in seven of the last eight Serie A matches against Udinese (2W, 5D), however losing the most recent one, in the first leg of this championship (0-3 on 30 December 2023). The Friulians can win both seasonal matches against the Emilians in the competition for the first time since 2017/18.

This is only the second match in the entire history of Serie A in which Bologna and Udinese face each other with a gap of more than 20 points in the standings (considered two points per game before 1994/95): the only precedent dates back to 18 April 1962 (+28 on that occasion for the rossoblù), with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.

Bologna are unbeaten in five home games against Udinese in Serie A (W2, D3), after having lost four of the previous six (W1, D1); more generally, the rossoblù have scored at least one goal in 12 of the last 13 home games in the competition against the bianconeri (the only exception was 1 February 2014, a 2-0 away success for the Friulians).

Udinese have drawn 10 of their last 16 away matches against Emilia-Romagna opponents in Serie A (3W, 3L), although in the most recent three there has only been a draw (1W, 1L): 1-1 in the 1st April at MAPEI against Sassuolo.

Bologna have lost only one of their last 13 Serie A matches (9W, 3D), last March 9th against Inter – from the 21st matchday onwards, in fact, only the Nerazzurri (35) have collected more points than the Rossoblù (30 ) in the championship.

Udinese have obtained 16 points in the 16 away games played in this Serie A (3W, 7D, 6L), more than any other team currently in the last eight positions in the table.

Bologna have achieved 62 points in this Serie A and, considering three points per win per win as always, the last season in which they did better in the top division was in 1966/67 (63).

On the one hand, only Napoli (19) and Cagliari (17) have recovered more points from disadvantaged situations than Bologna (15) in this Serie A; on the other hand, only Sassuolo (28) has lost more once higher in the score than Udinese (22 without considering the match against Roma).

Dan Ndoye is the player who has attempted the most shots without scoring in this Serie A (35); in general, the last Bologna player who needed more shots to find his first goal in the competition with this shirt was Mattias Svanberg, who found his first goal for the rossoblù in the top division on shot number 59, between 2018 and 2020.

Roberto Pereyra, who has scored or provided an assist in two of his last three Serie A appearances, has scored two goals against Bologna in the top flight, including one in the first leg this season. However, the Udinese midfielder’s only center against the rossoblù at the Dall’Ara in the competition dates back to 6 January 2021, in a 2-2 draw.
