On Monday, May 20, Bologna will host Juventus in the 37th round of Serie A. The match kicks off at 20:45 Central European Time. Predictions and bets for this encounter have been prepared by the analysts at Dailysports.
Bologna
Bologna is the standout surprise of this Serie A season. Thiago Motta's team has secured a top-five finish with two rounds to go, ensuring a place in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 60 years. This is an absolutely historic achievement for the club.
Bologna approaches the match against Juventus with an incredible eight-match unbeaten streak. In the previous round, the Rossoblu confidently defeated Napoli 2-0 away, following draws against Torino (0-0) and Udinese (1-1).
It is currently unclear whether Thiago Motta will remain Bologna's head coach next season. His contract with the club is coming to an end, and Juventus is reportedly offering the young coach a three-year deal.
Juventus
This week has been very eventful for Juventus. On Wednesday, the "Old Lady" defeated Atalanta (1-0) in the Coppa Italia final, but by Friday, they were without a head coach. The club decided to dismiss Massimiliano Allegri due to unacceptable behavior during the game and offensive comments directed at the director of the newspaper Tuttosport. In the final two rounds of the season, Juventus will be coached by Paolo Montero, the current U-19 team coach.
In Serie A, Juventus occupies fourth place with the same number of points as Bologna—67. However, Juventus' recent results are quite disheartening—five consecutive draws and only one win in ten matches. In the previous round, Juventus managed to draw 1-1 against the league's worst team, Salernitana.
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
- In the 2nd round of the current season, Bologna and Juventus drew 1-1.
- Bologna has not beaten Juventus since 2011—a streak of 25 matches.
- Bologna has lost only 2 home matches this season—against Milan and Inter.
Bologna vs Juventus prediction
Both Bologna and Juventus have already achieved their goals for this season, so they can play without pressure. My bet is that both teams will score.
