Qualification for the next Champions League is materializing for Bologna who will also be able to count on the home factor today. A significant factor for the Emilians who are second in terms of points scored in their stadium: 39 against 42 for Inter who are the best. Udinese, on the other hand, is in great difficulty: they have hired their third coach of the season in an attempt to avoid relegation and have scored just one point in their last five games.
In Emilia, tradition is in favor of Bologna who are at 21 to 10 in terms of successes against the Friulians and have collected five useful results in a row (2 wins and 3 draws). While the last Juventus victory was the 1-2 on 30 December 2017.
Both Bologna and Udinese change their pace during the second half, only they are at opposite ends. The rossoblu can boast a nice +17 compared to the results achieved at half-time, while the bianconeri are traveling with a -10 which, all things considered, is very heavy because at 38 points they would have been calm and completely out of the hot zone. Along with Atalanta and Inter, Bologna holds the record for goals scored in injury time with 7 (all scored by Motta’s team in the second halves).
