Last season, they finished fifth and qualified for the Champions League. They are the best home side behind Inter and Atalanta, winning 12 of their 19 home games. It should also be noted that Bologna has just 32 goals.
However, it is already clear that Bologna will find it extremely difficult to repeat last season's success. The Rossoblu have lost not only head coach Thiago Motta, who left for Juventus but also several key players. Riccardo Calafiori has joined Arsenal, and Joshua Zirkzee has gone to Manchester United.
Udinese
Udinese does not traditionally solve tournament problems. The main priority is to avoid relegation to Serie B, something Udinese struggled to do last season. Nervousness at the end of the championship is not in the plans of the club's leaders, and leading the team in the new championship has been entrusted to Kosta Runiajic - a German specialist who joined Udinese from Warsaw Legia.
In the first game, they managed to please the new coach with a crushing 4:0 victory in the Italian Cup home match against Avellino.
Expert Betting Tips
Don't expect a complete failure from Bologna. The team is now led by Vincenzo Italiano, who won the Conference with Fiorentina, and they have brought in some quality players to replace the departed leaders. We bet on Bologna to score against a Udinese side unlikely to make the breakthrough. With Vincenzo Italiano at the helm, they are set to become a more attacking side.
