Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Renato Dall’Ara will host Sunday’s Serie A game between Bologna and Udinese. Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men were on the verge of beating Juventus in Turin, but the Bianconeri eventually scored a late equalizer. The Rossoblu aim to overtake Udinese in 12th place, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Keep in mind that all Medel, Arnautovic, and Soumaoro miss out through suspension.
The Zebrette, on the other hand, are on a three-match winning run in the Italian top flight. However, the share of spoils is on the cards this time out as Bologna are tough to beat in front of home fans. As for the visiting side, all Beto, Pereyra, and Santurro are sidelined with injuries. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Dacia Arena.
Highlighted Player (Marko Arnautovic):
An Austrian footballer born on 19 April 1986, Marko Arnautovic represented a number of Austrian top sides on youth level, but it was at Twente that his professional career began. The winger needed a while to nail down a regular starting berth, but he impressed in his first full season to score 12 Eredivisie goals and earn a lucrative move to Inter Milan.
The unprofessional behaviour seriously cut short his stay at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, but the highly rated footballer was able to kick start his career at Werder Bremen. The successful spell in Bundesliga saw him secure a move to Stoke City, where he has played his best football up to date.
A powerful footballer capable of scoring from distance, Arnautovic is able to operate as a winger, centre forward or attacking midfielder, and he has also impressed playing for the Austria national team. The forward scored 3 goals in the qualifying campaign to help Das Team qualify for the Euro 2016 finals, taking his total goal tally past 10 strikes.
