Bologna Form & Team News

Bologna are the eleventh-placed team in Serie A this season with 41 points from 37 games. They have won 10 games while losing as many as mere 16 games this season. They have also drawn eleven games. They have not managed to win any of their last six matches, their last victory coming against Spezia in mid-April shows the sorry state they are in presently. Their home record is pretty average as well with seven wins coming from 18 games played so far. Bologna are facing Juventus in their last game of the season. Even for a win, they still won’t be able to make the top ten while a loss might also make them slip down the points table. 

Nicolas Dominguez and Santander have sustained a knee injury and are set to miss the action until at least mid-May while Aaron Hickey is also nursing a shoulder injury which is also likely to keep him on the sidelines till the middle of May at least. Mihajlovic has been quite inconsistent with his team selection and strategies which shows in the team’s present condition as well. Soriano, Barrow and Orsolini have all netted quite a number of goals this season while collectively as a team, they would need to perform more to their potential and consequently they would start winning more. 

 Juventus Form & Team News

Juventus are the fifth-placed team in Serie A this season with 75 points from 37 games. They have won 22 games while losing as many as six games this season. They have also drawn nine games. They failed to close their gap with the top four teams after the loss against Zlatan’s Milan losing it by three goals and add fuel to the already twist-filled middle portion of the points table after they won two on the trot to re-ignite hopes of a top-four finish. Their home record is second to only toppers Inter with 14 wins coming from 18 games played so far. They don’t have anything else but a win insight which is the only way to break into the top four after the final game against Bologna.

Bonnuci is injured and will probably miss the next game. Fewer injuries in the Juventus setup is a blessing for them considering they are in dire need of winning their remaining match to qualify for the Champions League next season. Pirlo after a difficult start to his tenure might as well be required to move out at the end of the season if they don’t qualify. Cristiano Ronaldo has had the goal-scoring prowess but the lack of a proper defensive set-up is what is causing Juve to lose quite a lot of games recently.
