Bologna vs Juventus Preview and Team News

Bologna Team News

Bologna host Juventus in the 35th round of the Italian Serie A competition on Sunday. The home team, currently ranked fifth in the league table, know the importance of this fixture since they wish to qualify for the Champions League next season. 

However, in this game, they will have to make do without the presence of several key players, including the likes of Nicolò Casale and Emil Holm, who have been sidelined with a shoulder and foot injury, respectively.

Dan Ndoye, who picked up a hip injury, and Estanis Pedrola, who has strained himself, will also not be available for selection. Bologna’s main worries have been regarding their performance in the final third, as they have scored just 4 goals in their last 5 matches. 

While passing is their forte, the home team like to involve their midfielders in crucial decision-making roles in the final third as well. 

In this game, they will need to keep the ball for far less time than is needed to create an impact against Juventus. Riccardo Orsolini has the most shots on target per match for Bologna (1.4) and will be keenly marked by the Juventus defenders.

Juventus Team News

Juventus know that the battle for the Serie A title this season may be over, but they are still in with a chance for qualifying for the Champions League next season. Currently, they are ranked fourth in the league table, and if they maintain this position, they will have no issues qualifying for European competitions. 

However, their defensive frailties (they have kept just one clean sheet in their last four matches) have often seen them fall behind their opponents, with manager Igor Tudor hoping that will not be the case in this game.

Overloading a side of their wings has long been Juve’s preferred way of attacking under pressure, and one can expect to see this, albeit with a dose of salt, given how strongly the Bologna defenders are known to recover after losing the ball. Kenan Yildiz has been suspended for this match, which will deal a huge blow to Juve. 

The likes of Milik, Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal and Lloyd Kelly have also been sidelined with injuries, whereas key players Teun Koopmeiners and Dušan Vlahović are doubtful starters. Vlahović’s absence – he strained his thigh against Parma – will be deeply felt as he is their leading goalscorer in the Serie A (9 goals) followed closely by Yildiz (6).

Bologna vs Juventus Prediction

• Pick: Bologna to win or draw
• Odds: 1.395 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Bologna 2-2 Juventus

Bologna, playing at home, have a slight advantage over their opponents in this game, and we expect them to either win or draw. They are renowned for hitting their opponents on the counter-attack, and that is what the neutral spectator will be keen on watching. 

Although recent history is against the home team – Juventus haven’t lost to Bologna in their last 27 meetings (19W, 8D) – we expect them to pick up at least a point here and give their qualification hopes for the Champions League next season a big push.

Bologna vs Juventus Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
• Odds: 1.41 (22Bet)

Juan Miranda has created the most number of big chances for Bologna (9), and may be the one entrusted with most of the responsibility to see them go ahead in this game. Juventus, meanwhile, have scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches, which means that their final third is not quite ticking as well as manager Tudor would like them to. 

We expect to see a total of over 1.5 goals in this game, as it will be a cagey encounter, with neither side willing to reveal more of their cards than strictly expected. Bologna have seen a total of over 1.5 goals in two out of their last four matches while Juventus have seen it happen in three out of their last four outings.
