Bologna vs Juventus – After losing their previous match to Hellas Verona 2-1 in Serie A, Bologna won’t want a repetition of that result here.
In that game, Bologna held 73% of the possession and 7 of its 18 shot attempts were successful. Nicolás Domnguez was the lone scorer for Bologna (94′).
Five of the nine goal attempts made by Hellas Verona were successful. Hellas Verona’s goals came from Simone Verdi (45 and 62 seconds).
Bologna under Thiago Motta have scored nine times in their previous six games. On the other end, they have had five goals scored against them throughout that period.
Bologna has lost all 21 of their league encounters against Juventus, according to their previous performance. They haven’t lost in their previous four league home games, so it must hurt.
Juventus and its supporters will be hoping for a better outcome this time after experiencing defeat last time out to Inter Milan in Coppa Italia competition.
In that game, Juventus had 59% of the possession and 3 of their 5 shots on goal were successful. 4 of Inter Milan’s 11 attempts at goal were on target. Inter Milan’s goal came from Federico Dimarco after 15 seconds.
A relatively small number of goals have been scored between Juventus and the opposition in 5 of their last 6 matches. The overall average of goals scored over that run of games is merely 1.5, with Juventus scoring an average of 0.5. We’ll soon find out if that pattern continues into this upcoming game.
In the previous 20 league games against Bologna, Juventus had never lost to them when they played them away from home. What a record that is, and they have gone the last two league games without a road victory.
Bologna vs Juventus – Betting Analysis
A review of their previous head-to-head matches dating back to June 22, 2020, reveals that Bologna has lost each of their contests.
While Juventus has been dominant against them, winning 83% of the times they have played each other, they have not been able to come away with any victories at all.
During those matches, the two teams combined for 16 goals, with Rossoblu scoring 2, and Juve scoring 14. There are 2.67 goals scored on average per game.
In their previous league encounter, which took place on Serie A Match Day 8 on October 2, 2022, Juventus defeated Bologna 3-0.
Juventus enjoyed 48% of the possession in that game and 6 of their 17 shots on goal were successful. Filip Kosti (24′), Duan Vlahovi (59′), and Arkadiusz Milik (62′) scored the goals.
Bologna made 9 shots at goal at the other end, with only one of them being successful. Rosario Abisso served as the match’s referee.
Bologna goalkeeper Thiago Motta will be without Andrea Cambiaso (muscle injury), Marko Arnautovic (foot injury), Nicola Sansone (strain), and Roberto Soriano (medial collateral ligament injury).
Our prediction is that Rossoblu will start Lukasz Skorupski, Stefan Posch, Adama Soumaoro, Jhon Lucum, G. Kyriakopoulos, Jerdy Schouten, Nicolas Dominguez, Michel Aebischer, Lewis Ferguson, Musa Barrow, and Joshua Zirkzee in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Massimiliano Allegri, the manager of Juventus, must deal with a number of absent players. Dusan Vlahovic (ankle distortion), Moise Kean (muscular issues), and Kaio Jorge (fitness) won’t be participating in this game.
Wojciech Szczesny, Federico Gatti, Daniele Rugani, Danilo, Juan Cuadrado, Fabio Miretti, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Matias Soule, and Arkadiusz Milik are expected to be benched as Juventus opts for a 3-5-1-1 configuration.
Bologna will have to put in a lot of effort as a unit to score during the course of the game against this Juventus club, who we believe is likely to score and take the lead.
What are the top odds for this match?
Looking at what the bookmakers’ view is of this game in the 90-minute result market, staking on Bologna is best priced at 3.5, a wager on a draw is 3.26 and staking on the winning team to be Juventus comes in at 2.2. Those are the most competitive market prices that can be secured at this very moment.
