Command Analysis

Bologna

Current form
Bologna played at a very high level last season and sensationally qualified for the Champions League, finishing fifth in the table. In the summer, Bologna lost the main architect of the team's success in the person of Thiago Motta - Vincenzo Italiano became the new coach of the "rossoblu". There are also colossal personnel losses - Joshua Zirkzee moved to Manchester United, Riccardo Calafiori was sold to Arsenal.
Bologna didn't have many friendly matches in the summer - in their last one, the Rossoblu drew 1-1 with Mallorca, and then beat their opponents in a penalty shootout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lewis Ferguson, John Lucumi and Kacper Urbanski won't be helping Bologna today.

1.35Tip and bets
Bologna has changed significantly over the summer – it has found a new coach and lost several key players. At the same time, it has managed to strengthen, at home the Rossoblu will certainly strive to take the maximum and there are players in the attack who are capable of making a difference. Udinese are unlikely to be able to stay clean, but the Zebras score regularly against Bologna and will certainly be able to respond.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Bet on the outcome
"Bologna" will appear today in a completely different guise and it is difficult to say how the team will show itself in a new combination, how much time the newcomers will need to adapt. "Udinese" is more cohesive and demonstrated excellent form in the Cup, the "zebras" are quite capable of clinging to points.
Bet - Udinese will not lose. This bet is offered for 1.89
Bet on corners
Bologna will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Udinese are clearly capable of responding – there should be a lot of corners.
