PREDICTED LINE-UPS | Juventus v Bologna

Looking to end their winless run since the international break, Juventus will aim to snatch the victory when they host Bologna this Saturday.

Juventus have posed as a lacklustre outfit for their last three matches across all competitions. Two goalless draws against Milan and Aston Villa followed up with a 1-1 stalemate with Lecce have forced manager Thiago Motta to reconsider a few things. While the absence of Dusan Vlahovic played out its part in the goalscoring department, the Bianconeri have failed to execute a smooth line of gameplay during these matches. The Old Lady are still unbeaten this season in the Serie A but eight draws have sent them to secure sixth position in the league standings. A few wins could quickly shoot them up at the top of the pile. 

Meanwhile, Bologna have moved within touching range of Juventus, being just five points off their hosts for this weekend. Despite their Champions League loss to Lille last month, the Rossoblu have scored seven goals over their previous two outings. A 3-0 victory over Venezia with strikes from Dan Ndoye and Riccardo Orsolini set a formidable momentum for the side as they followed that up with a 4-0 win against Monza in the Coppa Italia midweek. Sam Beukema and Lukasz Skorupski are set to return from injuries. 

Here are the predicted line-ups for the match according to Sky Italia:

Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Danilo, Fatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Weah; Vlahovic.

Bologna (4-2-3-1): Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumì, Miranda; Freuler, Pobega; Ndoye, Odgaard, Karlsson; Castro.
