Match Information
Match Overview
Bologna host Udinese in a Matchday 12 Serie A fixture on November 22, 2026, with the league table showing a clear gap between the sides: Bologna sit eighth while Udinese occupy 20th place. For the visitors, every fixture at this stage carries weight in the bottom-of-the-table picture, while Bologna are looking to keep building from a strong recent run.
The sharpest contrast lies in recent form. Bologna have won four of their last five league matches, with the only defeat in that stretch a 3-1 home loss to Inter on October 17. Since then they have beaten Cagliari 2-0 away on October 24, won 4-2 at AC Milan on October 28, edged Monza 2-1 at home on October 31 and won 2-1 at Parma on November 7. That is 10 goals scored in four wins. Udinese, by contrast, have taken one point from their last five league outings. They lost 3-0 to Lecce on October 18, 2-0 to AC Milan on October 25, drew 0-0 at Parma on October 28, lost 5-2 at home to AS Roma on October 31 and fell 2-1 at Venezia on November 6. Their defensive record in that run is a concern, with 13 goals conceded across five matches.
The head-to-head record also leans toward the hosts. Bologna won both meetings in the 2025-26 season, 3-0 away on November 22, 2025 and 1-0 at home on February 23, 2026. Across the ten meetings listed, Bologna have won five, Udinese one and four have ended level.
Neither side has any reported unavailable players, so both managers, Raffaele Palladino and P. Zanetti, appear to have full squads to choose from. That means selection decisions rather than absences will shape the lineups.
Bologna's form and table position make them the side with momentum, while Udinese arrive seeking a first positive result after a difficult run.

Team Form Analysis
Bologna
League Position: 8Bologna Form Analysis
Bologna's recent league form is strong, with four wins from their last five Serie A matches. The run began with a 2-0 away win at Cagliari on October 24, followed by an impressive 4-2 victory at AC Milan on October 28. They then beat Monza 2-1 at home on October 31 and won 2-1 at Parma on November 7.
Attacking output has been a clear strength. Bologna scored 10 goals across those four wins, including four in a single match at the San Siro. They have also shown an ability to win tight games, with back-to-back 2-1 results.
The defensive picture is more mixed. Bologna conceded in three of their last five league games, including three against Inter in the October 17 home defeat, which is the only loss in the sequence. That said, they have kept their margins healthy enough to collect wins despite conceding.
The quality of opposition adds weight to the run. Victories over AC Milan away and results against Inter, Cagliari, Monza and Parma give a varied sample, and Bologna have won four of the five. Having travelled for three of those matches, their ability to collect points on the road is also evident.
Udinese
League Position: 20Udinese Form Analysis
Udinese's recent league form is poor, with one draw and four defeats from their last five Serie A matches, yielding a single point. The sequence started with a 3-0 home loss to Lecce on October 18, followed by a 2-0 home defeat to AC Milan on October 25. A 0-0 draw at Parma on October 28 was the lone point gained, before a 5-2 home loss to AS Roma on October 31 and a 2-1 defeat at Venezia on November 6.
Attacking output has been limited. Udinese scored only four goals across the five matches, and two of those came in the heavy defeat to Roma. They were also held scoreless in three of the five games, including the draw at Parma.
Defensively, the numbers are a concern. They conceded 13 goals in five matches, an average of 2.6 per game, and shipped at least two goals in four of them. The 0-0 draw at Parma is the only clean sheet in the sample.
Opponents have varied, from Milan and Roma to Lecce, Parma and Venezia, and Udinese failed to win against any of them. Three of the five matches were played at home, where they lost all three, which adds context to their position at the foot of the table.
