Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Bologna vs. Juventus at Serie A
Bologna is currently tied third with Juventus ahead of this event, but both units have secured their spot in the UEFA Champions League next year. Rossoblu is the absolute surprise of the entire campaign, and we need to say that they played excellent football. On the other side, Juve was neck to neck with Inter for quite a while, but in the last two months this team collapsed, performing terribly.
Bologna
Before we start writing all kinds of praises about this team, we have to mention the late Sinisa Mihajlovic, who created this unit and the team. The Serbian bomber established the foundations of the organization during his time in Bologna, and it’s a pity he didn’t live to see how everything turned out.
Now, about the performances this year. The record of 18 wins, 13 ties and five defeats is impressive. What is even more astonishing is that Bologna has the second-best defense in the league, with only 27 goals allowed.
Rossoblu didn’t lose in the past eight meetings, winning four and posting the same number of ties. Throughout this span, we’ve seen them post six clean sheets. Another fantastic achievement.
Juventus
The Old Lady has been unrecognizable in the last two months. What happened with this team nobody knows, but since they lost to Inter in a direct clash, the entire unit simply crashed. Every single line in the team struggled and looked extremely poor.
Therefore, it’s not odd to see Juve not winning in six straight events. Five of those matches were ties, and there was also one defeat, which was in the Coppa Italia semis, against Lazio. Luckily, that was the second leg, and due to the result from the first, Allegri’s unit is in the finals.
When looking at away games, the Old Lady is equally terrible lately. four losses and four draws in the latest eight outings say pretty much everything about Juve’s performances away from Turin.
Bologna: Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler; Orsolini, Aebischer, Fabbian, Saelemaekers; Zirkze
Juventus: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Rugani; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic
The first meeting of the year back in late August was in Turin, and it ended without winners, 1-1. Lewis Ferguson brought the lead to Bologna, but Dusan Vlahovic leveled the score ten minutes before the end.
Bologna has a huge swing, while on the other side, Juventus is on a downhill. We aren’t underestimating the guests, but when looking the entire situation, our money here is on the hosts to triumph. Simply, with their current form and Juve’s road struggles, betting on anything else would be too risky.
Our verdict: Bologna wins
