Bologna and Udinese go head-to-head at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in round 28 of Serie A on Sunday (April 2). The two sides are separated by just one point in the league, so a thrilling battle could ensue as they push for a top-half finish.
Bologna failed to arrest their slump in form, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by relegation-threatened Salernitana just before the international break. Thiago Motta’s side have now gone three games without a win, picking up two points from a possible nine since registering successive wins over Sampdoria and Inter Milan in February. With 37 points from 27 games, Bologna are tenth in Serie A, level on points with Fiorentina and Torino.
Meanwhile, Udinese continue their late charge for a place in Europe with an impressive 3-1 victory over reigning champions AC Milan last time out. That followed a 1-0 victory over Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on March 11, which snapped their six-game winless run.
With 38 points from 27 games, I Bianconeri are eighth in the points table, seven points off sixth-placed Atalanta in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
