There are several fixtures to be played in the Italian Serie A on Saturday the 16th of April including the meeting between Juventus and Bologna.
The game will be played at the Allianz Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 4th place on 62 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 37 points.
Juventus come into the match having beat Cagliari 2-1 away from home last weekend. Having fallen a goal behind early in the match, Juventus turned the game around in the second half, scoring 2 goals, the latter of which came in the 75th minute.
It was a return to winning ways for Juventus following the disappointing 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Inter Milan.
Form in Serie A shows Juventus have been difficult to beat and they have lost only 1 of their last 18 league fixtures.
They have won 5 of their 6 most recent Serie A matches, with the wins coming against Spezia and Salernitana at home plus Empoli, Sampdoria, and Cagliari away.
Home form in the league shows Juventus have won 6 of their last 9 games, suffering only 1 defeat. Juventus have been good defensively in recent home Serie A matches and they have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 on home soil. Trends show under 2.5 goals have been scored in Juventus’ last 11 home matches in Serie A.
Bologna make the trip to the Allianz Stadium on the back of a 2-0 home victory against Sampdoria last weekend. Both goals were scored in the second half of the match and it was the first victory in 6 games for Bologna.
In fact, that was only the second win for Bologna in their last 12 fixtures, all of which have been in Serie A.
Away form in the league shows Bologna have been struggling to win games and they have failed to win any of their 6 most recent away Serie A matches.
There have been defeats at Cagliari, Verona, Lazio, and Fiorentina plus draws at Salernitana and AC Milan. The 0-0 draw at AC Milan was a good result and Bologna’s most recent away fixture.
Trends show Bologna’s last 6 games in Serie A have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored, including each of their last 3 away from home.
Team news and Juventus still have a significant injury list including Arthur, Manuel Locatelli, Marley Aké, Kaio Jorge, Weston McKennie, and Federico Chiesa.
Bologna have just one injury concern and Kingsley Dogo Michael could miss out due to a finger problem.
Juventus known they must win all their remaining fixtures if they are to have a chance of landing the Serie A title. Given their home form and the recent struggles of Bologna on the road, we expect Juventus to take maximum points and keep a clean sheet in the process.
