Insights:
  • Bologna have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Juventus haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

Juventus could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Coppa Italia game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Atalanta, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Juventus.

Bologna can neither be promoted or relegated from Serie A. For Juventus most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Juventus form and stats

Playing away, Juventus have won 8 games, drawn 7 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie A this season. Momentum is building for Juventus in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Juventus play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Atalanta (placed 2nd). The attacker Dejan Kulusevski got a match rating of 8.85 in that game. Kulusevski scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 18 successful passes (of 22 total).

A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Inter.

As mentioned earlier, Juventus will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in two wins (two by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.

Juventus are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 33 times in 18 away games so far. As opposed to that, Juventus have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
