Our tip: Bologna – Udinese: 1

18.08.2024 18:30

Bologna have had a great season, finishing 5th and qualifying for the Champions League. However, building on this success will be difficult, not least because of the many changes that have befallen the team. Udinese barely saved themselves last year, but entered this season with a promising start: a 4-0 win over Avellino in the cup.

The biggest change for Bologna is the departure of coach Thiago Motta, who has been replaced by Vincenzo Italiano (formerly of Fiorentina). Striker Zirkzee (Man. United) and defender Calafiori (Arsenal) have also left the club. Coach Italiano will believe that he has found a replacement at least in the offensive department, which should be the new arrival Dallinga, but it is clear that another promotion to the LM would be rather a miracle.

Udinese have acquired a big reinforcement in attack. Alexis Sanchéz, who started his illustrious career here, has returned to the club after many years. The Spanish striker Bravo (2005 class) could be an interesting addition, but otherwise it seems that Udinese have not learned their lesson. The team is once again composed mainly of foreigners, which proved to be a weakness last season: when things were not going well, at least a smaller Italian core was missing to unite the team.

What to bet on:

Despite the fact that Udinese handled the weaker Avellino in their first competitive appearance, they will have to survive again. Bologna may have lost important players, but the engagement of coach Italiano means that the club is certainly not throwing in the towel, but will look to maintain its performance standards.

Trust:

8/10
