Latest Udinese vs Bologna team information
Bologna made several changes to their midweek lineup compared to the one against Inter, and further tweaks are expected on Monday.
Most notably, first-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski could return to the starting line-up after recovering from injury, while Davide Calabria and captain Lewis Ferguson are also ready to play. Bologna only have Emil Holm and Nicolo Casale who are yet to return.
Riccardo Orsolini, who is enjoying a career-best season for goal involvements in Serie A (15), will continue to support Santiago Castro or Thijs Dallinga in attack. Orsolini has also scored three goals against Udinese in his career, including one in the reverse fixture this season.
On the other hand, Udinese will not have the services of their main striker duo: Lorenzo Lucca (calf injury) and Florian Thauvin (foot injury).
When the pair have played together in 18 Serie A games this season, Udinese have won 50% of their games and scored an average of 1.4 goals per game. However, in the 15 games without at least one of them, their win rate has dropped to 13% and they have scored an average of just 0.7 goals per game.
Keinan Davis and Alexis Sanchez, despite being injured this season, will be alternatives for coach Kosta Runjaic.
In addition, Jordan Zemura and Isaak Toure will also be absent due to injury, while mainstay centre-back Jaka Bijol is suspended.

Latest Udinese vs Bologna football review
Having booked their place in Rome, Bologna consolidated their three-goal advantage in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, with a 2-1 win on Thursday setting them up for the final against AC Milan next month.
Once again, Vincenzo Italiano's men overcame relegation-threatened Empoli, with Thijs Dallinga scoring his third goal in two legs to secure victory.
Having already featured in the Champions League this season, this could be a breakthrough season for the Emiliano side, as they are also on course to finish in the top four of Serie A.
In the most recent league game, Riccardo Orsolini scored a stunning overhead kick in injury time to hand Inter a defeat at Stadio Dall'Ara. The winger also set a personal record for goals in a Serie A season with 12, while several other players have also been in fine form under former Fiorentina boss Italiano.
In 2025 alone, Bologna will finish second in the table with 32 points, one more than Inter and two more than Napoli; in addition, no team will score more goals than them this year (27).
However, Juventus, Fiorentina and both Rome teams are still chasing fiercely for a Champions League spot, so Bologna cannot afford to make mistakes in the remaining journey.
The Rossoblu have won just one of their last eight away trips to Udine and have yet to keep a clean sheet in that run. They will be looking to break that streak by claiming all three points on Monday.
As for Udinese, in the last 10 matches between the two teams in Serie A, seven matches have ended in a draw, including the first leg this season which ended in a 1-1 draw. Udinese have only won once during this period.
The Bianconeri have been in a terrible slump of late, picking up just one point from their last six games.
Despite still being safe in mid-table, Kosta Runjaic's side lost 0-2 to Torino on Wednesday, being overtaken by their rivals in the top 10 race.
After a six-match unbeaten run, they have lost five in a row, and have also failed to score in their last two home games: a 0-1 loss to Hellas Verona and a 0-4 loss to Milan.
Although there are not many goals left this season after avoiding the relegation race early, Friulani fans still hope that their team will have a victory to close the season.
