Bologna vs Juventus

, KO: 19:45 Apr 30, 2023, Stadio Renato Dall'Ara
Juventus

After crashing out of the Coppa Italia, Juventus will turn their attention to the battle for the top four as they travel to Bologna on Sunday.

Bologna head into Sunday’s clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Verona in their previous Serie A fixture. They were second best for much of the contest and fell two goals down before Nicolas Dominguez pulled one back deep into added time.

That result is an extension of Bologna’s erratic showings in recent weeks as they have won just twice their last seven matches. Things Motta’s men are not playing for much at the moment as they sit eighth in the standings 10 points off the European places.

Things are just as erratic at home for Bologna, who have won just three of their last seven matches at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. However, they have only lost once in that run and played out a 1-1 draw with AC Milan in their previous fixture in front of their fans.

Juventus crashed out of the Coppa Italia after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the second leg on Thursday. It is a continuation of their struggles in recent weeks having claimed just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions.

Given Juventus’ poor showings in recent weeks, the points deduction overturn is looking like a major blessing at the moment. Massimiliano Allegri’s men remain third in the standings and can leapfrog Lazio in second if results go their way this weekend.

Juventus have also found things difficult on their recent travels with just one win from their last four away matches in Serie A. However, that win was a 1-0 victory at Inter Milan and they will be looking to channel that performance on Sunday.
