Bologna vs Juventus Match preview

Italy - Serie A: Bologna vs Juventus

Bologna have lost their sixth season’s game this weekend, only two wins have hammered them to the bottom leaving them not bright future in store. Outing to Genoa certainly wasn’t a big test for Arrigoni’s side, they were holding on quite well for entire 60 minutes, but Cassano was a mystery. It was exactly him who made a difference on the pitch. Bologna don’t have a player like that on board and they need to put out the team spirit. Unlike the last week’s win over Lazio, it simply didn’t function this time. Juventus won the Derby della Mole, as we have assumed, one goal was enough to seal the deal. Amauri is proving to be the worthy investment though a lot of people were very much suspicious regarding his hefty transfer to Palermo. Bianconeri weren’t great against Torino, the game was a real war, but they had a bit more experience and strength to grab a valuable triumph over their city rivals.

Bologna don’t have quality

Rossoblu announced great things this summer, Europe has been mentioned also, but we were careful, warning that the team was limited, that they will have problems in offense and that the Serie A is not the kind of a competition you can win with a strong defense. The opener with Milan, however, was a huge surprise, but a poor run came immediately after that game. Anyhow, last game at Dal’Ara saw them beat Lazio but no one can be pleased with six points. Arrigoni has finally made a change, incomer from Ascoli, Bernacci, got his chance in the starting line-up, did good, but lacked few useful passes he could use. Bologna had a couple of chances of their own at Marassi, but as we have already mentioned, Casssano was an enigma. All that Arrigini’s side is left with is to defend, use Juventus’ vulnerability and possibly take at least a point that would be a huge spirit boost for the squad.

Are Juventus out of crisis?

Greatest Italian club claim the crisis is over, wins over Real and Torino brought the peace and tranquility, but we weren’t impressed. Juve are without their play, ten payers are injured and we still believe that Ranieri is not good enough for Juventus. Title race is only a dream this season although they are not so much behind. Juventus are pushing fine in Champions League but European campaign can cost them dearly since they are without sufficient players for two fields battle. Injuries are one problem, the fact Del Piero and Nedved are irreplaceable is another big issue. We have also mentioned the lack of creative midfielders which also a problem. Juve are doing much better when defending that when they are the ones that should be attacking. Due to that, they will have to pay the price against the small teams since the games against the underdogs lost them lo scudetto’s race last year.

Betting verdict

Apart from Bologna, Juventus are yet to clash Roma and Real in the next seven days thus completely unworthy of the risk here. Bookies have pushed the odds on away win, but we will advise you to try under 2.5 goals. Both of the sides have efficiency issues, Ranieri will shuffle a bit but there is no room for mind-gaming since have of his team is injured.
