Juventus’ Serie A season, has so far seen them gain 62 points, going into this game
Juve will be buoyant, following a 1-2 away win against Cagliari in their last fixture.
Also, Juve keep finding ways to win, having secured 13 victories in their last 20 fixtures is astonishing this season, which is responsible for their Champion’s League qualification position. With a fourth position in the league and 18 wins, 6 losses and 8 draws, they currently have 62 points in the League having won 18 meetings, drawn eight games, and lost six matches.
When Juve host Bologna, they will do so on the back of nine wins, three darts, and four losses on their own ground.
Juventus will see 65 points so far this season, should they secure a win.
Good atacking and defensive team
Juve have a solid defence, with only 28 goals conceded in their previous matches. Juve have a good scoring record this season, with 49 netted so far (48 from open play and one penalty). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Dusan Vlahovic (5), Alvaro Morata (3), and Matthijs De Ligt (2).
Going into Saturday’s game, Massimiliano Allegri without five of his players, due to illness or injury.
Bologna go into this match with 37 points secured
Bologna will take a huge positive from their recent 2-0 win against Sampdoria at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
Also, league success is all about winning football matches, any way you can, so nine losses in 16 meetings would not make this a successful season for Bologna. With 37 points, they currently sit twelfth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 10 wins, 14 losses and 7 draws having won 10 games, drawn seven fixtures, and lost 14 meetings.
Bologna’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Juve. In the 15 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won three matches, drawn four fixtures, and lost eight games.
Victory for Bologna would take their points tally to 40 so far this season.
Bologna may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.
