Bologna vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-13 19:45.
[p]Two European chasers meet here as Bologna look to defend their pre-round top-six position against a Juventus side who are hot on their heels.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Bologna enter this round sitting fifth with 25 points on the board, representing their second-best start to a Serie A season in the three-points-for-a-win era despite failing to win back-to-back league matches (D1, L1) after drawing 1-1 against Lazio last weekend. The other game in that negative streak was a 3-1 home defeat to Cremonese which served as their first competitive home loss of the season (W6, D3). A response should be expected here given that the last time the RossoblĂą lost consecutive home league matches was back in January 2022, while a positive record this season against teams starting this round below them (W6, D4, L1) should only serve to boost belief.[/p]
[p]After suffering a 2-1 defeat in their last Serie A match against Napoli, Juventus responded well with a 2-0 victory over Pafos in midweek UEFA Champions League action, as Luciano Spalletti’s men registered their fourth win across their previous five matches. The Bianconeri enter this round only a point behind the top six, but three defeats in their last five away Serie A matches (W1, D1), including both their trips to higher-ranked opposition this term, are worrying as that’s the same amount of losses they’d suffered in their previous 25 away league outings combined![/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Each of the last five H2Hs ended level, whilst Bologna last won a competitive meeting back in 2011. At home, the RossoblĂą last beat Juventus in Serie A back in 1998 (D8, L14)![/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Bologna saw a pre-round league-high ten of their Serie A matches stand level at half-time this season.[/p]
[p]Bologna’s home league games this season haven’t seen a single goal scored in the opening 15 minutes.[/p]
[p]Juventus have conceded six of their eight away league goals in the first or last 15 minutes.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini has scored four of his last six competitive goals before the break, but is yet to win a career H2H against Juventus (D5, L8) despite scoring two home goals against them. Jonathan David seems to have finally found his feet at Juventus, netting twice across his last five appearances, with six of his last eight club goals arriving after the break.[/p]
[p]Both teams appear to have come through their midweek European duties unscathed.[/p]
