Juventus will be looking to solidify their top-four spot when they meet Bologna on Sunday at the Allianz Stadium in a Serie A encounter.
Juventus will look to maintain their form against Bologna as they haven’t lost a single match since 2011, creating an undefeated run of 29 matches winning 20 and drawing the other nine during this run.
Juventus vs Bologna – Match preview and team news
- Date: Sunday, 19th April.
- Kick-off: 7:45pm BST.
- Venue: Allianz Stadium, Torino.
Juventus team news
Kenan Yildiz and Khéphren Thuram both have resumed full training after their recent injury issues on Saturday and are expected to feature in the starting XI.
However, the attack remains severely depleted; star striker Dusan Vlahovic is sidelined with a calf injury, joining Arkadiusz Milik on the injury list.
This likely leaves Jeremie Boga or Jonathan David to lead the line as a lone striker. The Bianconeri are missing keeper Mattia Perin and full-back Juan Cabal, meaning Michele Di Gregorio will start in goal.
Weston McKennie is also back after serving a suspension in the last match and is set to be included in the starting XI.
Bologna team news
Defender Nicolo Casale is officially out after sustaining an ankle injury in midweek, though the return of Jhon Lucumi from a European suspension offers a timely reinforcement for the backline.
The goalkeeping situation remains a talking point, with young Massimo Pessina potentially replacing Federico Ravaglia after the latter’s difficult night in Birmingham.
Offensively, the Rossoblù are still sweating on the fitness of Thijs Dallinga, while Benjamin Dominguez remains unavailable.
Lukas Skorupski also remains unavailable and will not be back until the end of April.
Form
Juventus
Juventus enters this clash in excellent domestic form, maintaining a six-match unbeaten streak in Serie A. Their recent momentum was solidified by a crucial 1-0 away victory against Atalanta, which propelled them into fourth place with 60 points. Over their last five league fixtures, they have secured four wins and one draw, remarkably conceding only one goal while keeping four clean sheets during this period.
Bologna
In Serie A, they have found rhythm with two consecutive victories against Lecce (2-0) and Cremonese. However, their continental campaign ended in heartbreak on Thursday following a heavy 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa (1-7 aggregate) in the Europa League that knocked them out of the competition. Domestically, they have won three and lost two of their last five league games.
Predicted lineups
Juventus: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; Boga
Bologna: Ravaglia; Zortea, Lucumi, Heggem, Miranda; Moro, Freuler, Pobega; Orsolini, Castro, Rowe
