Bologna vs Juventus 27.05.2017/ Italy
Last round in the Serie A and the Champions will visit Bologna. Odds were extremely high but dropped enormous. Bologna are also done for the season. They are currently in 15th position and they could only move up to 14th position and pass Chievo. Bologna scored 39 goals and conceded 56 which gives them an average of 1.05 goals scored and 1.51 conceded and this brought them 41 points so far. Their form is decent with 2 wins, 3 losses in the last 5 games played. They scored 10 goals and conceded 10 as well which makes the maths easy with 2 goals scored and 2 conceded per game. They achieved wins over Pescara (20) and Udinese (12) at home.
Bologna their form at home is not that much different from their form away. They won 3 games and lost 2. The wins were all over quite low ranked teams with wins over Pescara (20) Udinese (12) and Chievo (14). The losses were against the bigger teams, Roma (2) and Lazio (4). In these games against the big teams they did not manage to score any goal and conceded 5. Actually Bologna did not win any game against a team in the current top 6 of this season, not even the current top 8. They only defeated Torino (9) ones. Bologna scored only 1 goal in the last 5 games against Juventus at theur own stadium.
The player who is unsure for this one at Bologna side is Verdi (28) who already scored 6 goals this season for Bologna and is a key player in the Bologna team.
Possible line-up Bologna:
Bologna (4-3-3): Mirante; Torosidis, Gastaldello, Helander, Mbaye; Donsah, Taider, Pulgar; Verdi (?), Destro, Krejci
♣ Bologna are done as well, lack of quality
♣ Bologna did only score one goal against Juventus in the last 5 games played against them at home
♣ Bologna did not win a single game against the top 6 this season
Juventus are the fresh champions of the Serie A. They are in first position with 88 points out of 37. Scoring 75 goals and conceding 26, it gives them an average of 2.03 scored goals and only 0.70 goals conceded per game. With these amazing numbers Juve only lost 5 of their games and drew 4 of them, winning 28. Their form is bad comparing to their season appearance with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Scoring 11 (2.2 average) and conceding 6 (1.2 average). So it seems that the Juve defense is a little bit sloppier lately and that they have some bad luck as the averages are still pretty good. The loss was against Roma and can be explained by the cup final they had ahead. They drew against Torino (9) and Atalanta (5) (late equalizer). So also the opponents against who they dropped some points were not bad at all.
Juve their away form is not that different because the last five away games include the ones against Roma and Atalanta but actually their away form is not even interested. The high odds on Juventus were obviously because everyone expected them to play with a full B-team because of the big champions league final, but latest news tells us different. Eurosport.it gave us the possible line-up which contains a lot of stars and as result the odds dropped very fast. The possible-line up is below. Besides the last time that Juventus lost against Bologna has been in 1999.
Possible line-up Juventus
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Audero; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Benatia, Asamoah; Marchisio, Khedira; Cuadrado, Dybala, Mandzukic; Higuain.
