Bologna - Juventus predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Bologna on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Bologna on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

No-one expected Bologna’s incredible performance in the previous round – least of all their opponents. Despite overwhelming odds and a home-field disadvantage, Bologna took the lead in the first half and turned it into a decisive 0:2 away victory against Napoli .

A home draw (1:1) is not Juventus supporters will have been happy with. Their team was installed as a huge favourite to ease to victory against Salernitana. However, once they went behind early in the game, it was obvious that even a point from this game would be considered a success.

Juve seem to have issues when it comes to turning matches into wins. Their previous 5 Serie A games ended in a draw, which doesn’t instil a lot of confidence.

Placed at number 3rd on the standings, this game’s home team is at the brink of qualifying for the Champions League. They’ll have to be careful with this matchup, though any real placement changes seem unlikely this late in the season.

Juve are just 25 points below the table leaders, but taking the title is almost impossible for them at this point. We’re in the closing few matches of this Serie A season and it’s a heavily unfavourable matchup for the visitors, who are not likely to win even a single point.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Adama Soumaoro, Lewis Ferguson, Joshua Zirkzee. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Danilo, Alex Sandro, Mattia De Sciglio. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.53 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
