Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Lecce, Juventus will look to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they take on Bologna on Matchday 15. Juve are eager to climb to the Champions League berth and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Rossoblu. All Savona, Milik, Bremer, and Cabal are sidelined with injuries, while the likes of Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, and Weston McKennie are major doubts.
Bologna, on the other hand, rolled over Venezia 3-0 to retain eighth place in the standings. The Rossoblu have recorded four wins in the previous five league fixtures, which is probably the main reason why we predict they will grab something from Saturday’s encounter. In their last meeting in Turin the two teams played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Both Oussama El Azzouzi and Michel Aebischer are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
