Juventus seems to be one of the victims in this covid-19 issue. They lost their top position on the standings due to the fact that their scheduled match against Inter was postponed till May. This weekend they are hoping to be able to play again to be back in the title race while visiting Bologna, which is currently on a tenth of the table. Both teams can only wish that their next game will not be delayed anymore.

The teams’ previous matches
Il Rossoblu had a disappointing loss while visiting Rome last weekend. They were beaten by Lazio 0-2. Luis Alberto and Joaquin Correa bagged the home side’s winning goals. Rodrigo Palacio and Co barely had clear chances to score except relying on long-range shots. It was rather expected results considering the host’s consistent form.
The Old Lady’s last match was in Champions League last midweek. They were unfortunate in their visit to Lyon when they were beaten by the host. It was Lucas Tousart who tucked in and made the difference on the score sheet. Cristiano Ronaldo was quite frustrated as he was unable to convert several chances into goals, including some free-kick attempts.
Possible tactic
The former Lazio wing-back in the 1990s and early 2000s, Sinisa Mihajlovic tends to employ 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formations. He relies on the veteran Argentinean striker, Rodrigo Palacio and the local youngster, Ricardo Orsolini as the main forward.
Maurizio Sarri is often favour of employing 4-3-1-2 in Juventus instead of his favourite 4-3-3. He is believed to win his first domestic title this season as his squad has all the advantage that other teams do not, the mentality, experience and surely the living football legend today, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Players to watch
In Rossoblu’s squad, their top performers this season are Ricardo Orsolini with seven goals and four assists, Rodrigo Palacio with six goals and three assists and Roberto Soriano with three goals and two assists.
In Juventus, one of the most notable figures this season beside Cristiano Ronaldo is the Argentine Paulo Dybala. He has netted six goals and provided four assists. Another important name is Maurizio Sarri’s favourite forward, Gonzalo Higuain.
Bologna vs Juventus Prediction
Maurizio Sarri’s men need to seal another win to catch up Lazio. Such seems possible considering Bologna’s inconsistent form. Thus, a narrow win is quite likely with Cristiano Ronaldo as the scorer again.
Betting Odds
Leonardo Bonucci and Co are the favourites in this game. Their odds to win are at 1.77 whereas the draw result is higher, which is at 3.75. Bologna is only projected to win at 4.50.
