Bologna vs Udinese – Curtain falls on Matchday 26
Serie A

Bologna vs Udinese – Curtain falls on Matchday 26

Bologna host Udinese in the final fixture of the round.

The home side are seeking continuity after last week’s win over Torino, a result that halted a run of four consecutive defeats. Udinese, beaten by Sassuolo last time out and previously by Lecce, are targeting three points that would see them leapfrog their hosts in the table.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

In the 43 official meetings in Bologna, the record stands at 21 home wins (most recently 3–0 in Serie A 2022/23), 11 draws (most recently 1–1 in last season’s Serie A) and 11 away wins (most recently 2–1 away in Serie A 2017/18).

Bologna have scored in 10 consecutive home matches against Udinese, for a total of 18 goals. The last time Bologna failed to score in this fixture at home was on 1 February 2014 in Serie A, a 2–0 Udinese win.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bologna are among the teams with the most goals scored in the opening 15 minutes of the second half in Serie A 2025/26 (10, level with Milan).

Only Lazio (7) have received more red cards than Bologna (5) in Serie A 2025/26.

Udinese are the Serie A 2025/26 team with the most completed dribbles (242).

Only Sassuolo and Cremonese (7 each) have conceded more goals than Udinese (6) in the opening 15 minutes of matches in Serie A 2025/26.

Bologna have been without a home win in official matches since 4 December (a 2–1 Coppa Italia win over Parma). Since then, across eight matches, they have recorded three draws and five defeats.

COACHES and PLAYERS

It will be the fourth official meeting between Vincenzo Italiano and Kosta Runjaić: Italiano is unbeaten in the previous three, with one win and two draws.

Nikola Moro scored against Torino: it was the Croatian midfielder’s second league goal of the season. He had not scored in Serie A since 5 October 2025, in Bologna–Pisa 4–0 (Matchday 6). It is his second-best scoring season in his career; his best remains 2020/21, when he scored three in the Russian Premier League for FC Dynamo Moscow.

Santiago Castro scored against Torino: it was the Argentine striker’s seventh league goal of the season. He had not scored in Serie A since 15 January 2026, in Verona–Bologna 2–3 (a Matchday 16 fixture rearranged after the Supercoppa Italiana).

Oumar Solet is among the players with the most ball recoveries in Serie A 2025/26 (181, level with Evan Ndicka).

Solet scored against Sassuolo: it was his third league goal of the season; only Leo Østigård has scored more among defenders (4). The French defender has never scored as many goals for a club in a single season.
