Juventus’ historical 27-match unbeaten run against Bologna makes them strong favourites despite the visitors’ impressive away form.
Juventus score 55 goals this season, and Bologna’s strong road scoring suggests the 2.5 line is within reach.

Match Preview
Juventus head into this one with a top-four place in their hands and no room for softness. Luciano Spalletti’s side have put together a strong six-match unbeaten run in Serie A, climbed into fourth, and sharpened up at the back just when the pressure has peaked.
Bologna arrive carrying a different kind of energy. Their Europa League campaign ended painfully in midweek, but their away form in the league remains seriously strong, and that gives Vincenzo Italiano’s side a reason to believe they can make this awkward in Turin.
Kick-off is at 19:45, and the mood is easy to read. Juventus are chasing control, points and breathing space. Bologna are chasing a response after Europe, and they have enough punch on the road to test a side that still does not always make life simple for itself.

Spalletti’s side look to dominate territory and keep the keeper busy throughout the 90 minutes.

Team News & Probable Lineups
Juventus Team News
- Juan Cabal Murillo is out with adductor pain.
- Dusan Vlahovic is unavailable due to rest.
- Vasilije Adzic is out with ankle problems until 28 April 2026.
- Arkadiusz Milik is sidelined by a hamstring injury.
The absence of natural forward depth puts extra focus on Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao and Jeremie Boga to provide the incision.
Bologna Team News
- No confirmed injuries or suspensions are stated here.
Bologna’s likely front line still carries threat through Riccardo Orsolini and Santiago Castro.
Their midfield three suggests intensity, pressing and plenty of legs, but also a risk of leaving space if Juventus beat the first line.
Probable Juventus Lineup
Di Gregorio
Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso
Thuram, Locatelli
Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz
Boga
Probable Bologna Lineup
Ravaglia
Zortea, Lucumi, Heggem, Miranda
Moro, Freuler, Pobega
Orsolini, Castro, Rowe
Juventus look set up to control territory and squeeze Bologna back. Bologna’s shape suggests width and counter-punching, but the visitors will need their wide men to work hard without the ball or they risk getting penned in.

Tactical Battle
Juventus should own the territory
Juventus look built to pin Bologna back. They control the game in the opposition’s half, play short, attack through the middle, and still find room to hurt teams down the left. With 56.8% possession and 16.5 shots per game in Serie A, Spalletti’s side usually create enough pressure to keep opponents in retreat.
That points straight to Locatelli and Thuram. They are the pair most likely to set the platform, move Bologna around and feed the line of Conceicao, McKennie and Yildiz behind the striker. If Juve circulate the ball quickly enough, Bologna’s midfield can be stretched laterally, and that opens lanes for through balls and cut-backs.
Yildiz is the obvious danger. He has 10 league goals and six assists, the best rating in the squad, and he is the player most likely to turn controlled possession into something sudden and decisive.
Bologna’s route is wider and rougher
Bologna are more aggressive and more direct in patches. They play with width, they are comfortable with long balls, and they can produce danger from distance. That matters because Juventus are weak at defending long shots and do not always stop opponents from creating chances cleanly enough.
The visitors will want Orsolini, Rowe and Miranda involved early. If they can break Juventus’ first press or switch the ball into wide zones, they can force the home back line into uncomfortable defensive movements. Bologna also have a stronger aerial profile, and that may help them in restarts and wide deliveries.
But there is a catch. Bologna are very weak at protecting the lead and weak at defending against skilful players. Against a side full of technical quality between the lines, that is dangerous. If Juventus get at them repeatedly, the visitors may struggle to keep the game in a stable shape.
Key Stats
- Juventus are unbeaten in their last six Serie A matches, have collected four clean sheets in that run, and have tightened up at exactly the stage of the season when every point feels heavier.
- Bologna have won their last four away Serie A matches and are unbeaten in 12 of their last 14 away league games, so they arrive in Turin with genuine road confidence despite their midweek Europa League exit.
- Juventus are unbeaten in their last 27 Serie A meetings with Bologna, but they have managed just one win in the last six against them, with five draws showing how awkward this match-up has become.

🎯 Match Rationale: Juventus to Win
Juventus enter this fixture as significant favourites, supported by a historical dominance that has seen them remain unbeaten in their last 27 Serie A meetings with Bologna. Luciano Spalletti has successfully instilled defensive rigidity into this squad, evidenced by their 18 clean sheets across the season and a recent six-match unbeaten streak. While Bologna arrive with four consecutive away wins, the step up in quality at the Juventus Stadium is considerable. Juventus lead their visitors in almost every key performance indicator, including total points, goals scored, and shot volume, where they average 16.5 efforts per game compared to Bologna’s 13.4.
⚔️ Tactical Indicators
- Juventus average 56.8% possession, allowing them to dictate the tempo against Bologna’s 55.5%.
- Kenan Yildiz serves as a high-quality attacking connector with 10 goals and 6 assists this term.
- Spalletti’s side have secured four clean sheets in their last six league outings.
Risk Factor: Juventus are occasionally vulnerable to individual errors and long-shot specialists like Orsolini.
🎯 Scoreline Rationale: Juventus 2-0 Bologna
Predicting a 2-0 victory for Juventus aligns with the statistical trends observed throughout the Serie A campaign. Juventus have proven they are an elite defensive unit, successfully shutting out opponents in 18 matches. Their average first goal typically arrives at the 45-minute mark, suggesting a patient approach that eventually wears down the opposition. Bologna’s midweek Europa League exit may also result in late-game fatigue, providing an opening for clinical players like Yildiz or Boga to secure a second goal. With Juventus averaging over 1.5 goals per match and maintaining the league’s fourth-best defensive record, a controlled two-goal margin is the most plausible outcome.
