Juventus – Bologna, Picks and Tips
Juventus have played inconsistently in recent Serie A games, but the Bianconeri maintain a fairly comfortable lead over main rivals Roma and Lazio. Juventus - Bologna could bring another win for the hosts against the 'rossoblu'. Juventus' most recent match was at Cagliari, a team in the relegation zone. It was a tough game for Allegri's side, who won 2-1 in the end. Joao Pedro opened the scoring in the 10th minute, but Dutch defender De Ligt equalised right at the end of the first half. The Bianconeri's victory came courtesy of Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic, who scored in the 75th minute. Earlier, Juventus played the great Italian derby against Inter. The duel at the Allianz Stadium was lost by Allegri's side 0-1. The only goal of the match in Piedmont was scored by Turkish Hakan Calhanoglu in extra time of the first half, from a penalty. Juventus also had another home game against bottom side Salernitana. The Piedmontese won comfortably in the end, 2-0. Dybala opened the scoring in the 5th minute and Vlahovic doubled the hosts' lead with a 29th minute strike. A counter-performance was Juventus' achievement in the Champions League knockout rounds, when they were eliminated after a double-header against Villarreal.
Bologna are doing quite well on the sporting front, but the loss of Mihailovici from the bench has weighed heavily on the morale of the players. The Emilia-Romagna side have just one win in their last five games and have low hopes from the Juventus-Bologna duel at the weekend. The "rossoblu"'s most recent Serie A duel was at home against Sampdoria. Bologna won 2-0 after a game dominated end-to-end. The two goals were scored by Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic in the 61st and 76th minutes. A big result for Bologna came away to AC Milan. The team from Emilia-Romagna managed a miraculous 0-0 draw, despite Milan having more than 30 chances during the 90 minutes. Bologna have also suffered two defeats in recent times, 0-1 away to Fiorentina and 0-1 at home to Atalanta.
