Udinese will be hoping for a win when they host Bologna on Saturday in the Italian Serie A. They arrive for this round 18 fixture while sitting 17th in the standings, 17 points behind fourth-placed Bologna. Udinese are finding it extremely hard to win matches and have registered only one victory thus far in the league. Their struggles have kept them in the relegation picture and are currently just one point above the bottom three. Gabriele Cioffi, who took over from Andrea Sottil two months ago, orchestrated their first victory. This was almost two months ago however and they arrive for this match without a win in six. Though they have struggled to win, they have proven hard to defeat and their 11 draws are the most by any team thus far. Le Zebrette drew 1-1 away to Torino last time out.

As Udinese are struggling at the bottom end of the table, Bologna are riding high on the opposite end. They have been this season’s surprise package and are primed to secure a position in Europe for next season. Thiago Motta’s men have amassed 31 points thanks to eight wins and seven draws. They too have proven difficult to defeat and have lost the second-fewest games with just two losses thus far. A ninth victory of the season can see them move into third and possibly have them just seven points off the top two. Bologna, who haven’t lost to Udinese in seven meetings, won both home and away against their soon-to-be hosts last season. I Rossoblù bring with them a six-game unbeaten record. They defeated Atalanta 1-0 at home last time out to earn their fourth win in a row.
