Juventus – Bologna

Match analysis

Juventus host Bologna in a Serie A clash that could see the Black and Whites tighten their grip on the top‑eight, currently sitting eighth with seven points from four games (two wins, a draw and a loss, scoring six and conceding four). Bologna, languishing at 17th with just a solitary point after a draw and three defeats, will be desperate to snap their winless run and improve a goal deficit of five‑to‑two. The two sides have met infrequently this season, leaving the encounter wide open for Juventus to assert their home advantage and extend the gap to the relegation battle. A positive result for Juventus would not only boost confidence but also create a comfortable buffer above the drop zone, while Bologna will need at least a draw to keep any hope of climbing out of the bottom three.
