Bologna vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-05-03 18:45.
[p]After celebrating progression to their first Coppa Italia final in over 50 years, Bologna were held to a 0-0 draw on Monday against mid-table Udinese. Their quest for a second consecutive UEFA Champions League (UCL) qualification took a hit, and after winning just one of their last four Serie A matches (D2, L1), they started this round outside of the top-four and one point behind Juventus.[/p]
[p]Strong home performances, which saw Bologna win nine of their last ten competitive outings at Stadio Dall’Ara (D1), should inspire belief that the Rossoblù can end a streak of four H2H draws, all of which saw Bologna open the scoring and lead at half-time. Despite coming so close on so many occasions, their drought when it comes to winning at home to Juventus in any competition stretches back to 1998 (D7, L17).   [/p]
[p]Juventus returned to winning ways by beating rock-bottom Monza 2-0 last weekend despite playing the entire second half with ten men and holding only 21% of possession after the break. They have now won three of Igor Tudor’s five matches at the helm (D1, L1) and returned to the top four at the end of the round, but will miss Turkish talent Kenan Yıldız here after his straight red card.[/p]
[p]The visitors lost their last away league match against relegation-threatened Parma (1-0) and the travelling fans may have some concerns given Juventus are yet to win on the road against a team that entered this round in the top half of the table (D5, L2). In fact, Juve have won just once on their travels since mid-February (D1, L3), keeping only one clean sheet across their last ten away league outings.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bologna’s Dan Ndoye has recorded five of his eight goals this season after the break, but he opened the scoring in the reverse fixture. That match saw Teun Koopmeiners net too, with the Dutchman scoring both of his career goals against Bologna in the second half (W1, D1).[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Bologna scored in each of their last 16 competitive home games.[/p]
