Udinese Team News
In most cases, Udinese will play an open game, especially if the other team cooperates by doing the same. On the other hand, the situations when Udinese plays a low-scoring game seem to belong to two scenarios: a match against a big favourite, where Udinese can't do anything so they lose to nil, and a match against a tough-defending relegation candidate such as Cremonese.
You can usually count on Udinese to score, but if you actually count on it with a proper bet, expect to lose. If that makes sense. Udinese is not to be trusted with large bets but this side will generally fare well against most teams in this league. You just can't know when exactly.
Bologna Team News
If you can't bet on Udinese, you most certainly can on Bologna. They lost three times this season - all three matches were lost 1-0, to Roma, Milan and Aston Villa - but in other twelve they are undefeated with a tendency to come out on top. So, their record in all competitions stands at 7-5-2. And people said Bologna would fall apart when they start playing European football.
Bologna is particularly likely to win against any side that doesn't control proceedings as well as they do, as if the opponent has any glaring hole in their gameplay, Bologna will exploit it. It's only in matches against the truly big sides that Bologna becomes inferior as they can't match their technical ability.
Probable Lineups
Udinese (3-5-2): Okoye - Goglichidze, Kabasele, Solet - Zanoli, Ekkelenkamp, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara - Buksa, Zaniolo. Coach Runjaic.
Bologna (4-2-3-1): Skorupski - De Silvestri, Heggem, Heggem, Miranda - Ferguson, Freuler - Bernardeschi, Fabbian, Orsolini - Castro. Coach Italiano.
The Betting Market
Bologna is seen as a significant favourite at 2.15, which means Udinese isn't given too much credit here despite only losing once at home this season, to Milan 0-3. Udinese has 2-2-0 in other four matches, but then again, Bologna has the identical score in their last four travels.
Under 2.5 Goals is given a price of 1.62, which means you can get 2.30 if you believe in the opposite outcome that would include at least three goals. Interestingly, Both Teams To Score: YES has a price of 2.00, while the NO option is priced at 1.75.
All this would suggest that the expected outcome of this match is 1-1, which is in sync with how Udinese's matches usually end.
The Betting Verdict
Any match that is expected to end 1-1 is giving you few options to bet on. The winner market is obviously eliminated unless you want to bet on The Draw straight up, and then the only other options are either BTTS-Yes or Under 2.5 Goals.
We opt for the BTTS bet as Udinese is offensive enough to score at home against anyone, and Bologna is the favourite here so they're expected to score at least one.
BTTS it is !
