Bologna vs Juventus prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 14, 2025
One of the matches of Serie A's matchday 15 will be played on Sunday at the "Renato Dall'Ara" stadium in Bologna, where the local side Bologna will host Juventus. I'm offering a bet on goalscoring with a solid chance of success.
Match preview
Bologna comes into this fixture in high spirits after a hard-fought comeback win in the Europa League against Spanish side Celta. The main hero of that encounter was Federico Bernardeschi, who netted a brace. The Italian, who had been going through a rough patch in his career, has found great form: he has four goals in his last six matches. It's clear that the player is confidently rebooting his career in Italy.
Things are going well for the team in Serie A as well. The "Rossoblù" are currently fifth and are seriously contending for a Champions League spot. The team is in fine form: over the last 11 league matches, Bologna has suffered just one defeat—an unexpected 1-3 loss to Cremonese.
However, not everything is perfect. The "Red and Blues" are dealing with significant personnel issues: Lukasz Skorupski, Nicolo Casale, Remo Freuler, and Martin Vitik are all sidelined due to injury. These players will definitely miss the clash against Juventus.
Juventus, meanwhile, is gradually finding their rhythm after the dismissal of Igor Tudor, with Luciano Spalletti taking over. Under the new manager, the "Bianconeri" have posted decent results, losing only once—in the previous round against Napoli (1-2). Their fixture list is particularly tough: after Napoli, they face Bologna, then a showdown with Roma. It will be intriguing to see how Spalletti handles such a demanding schedule.
Just days ago, Juventus also played a Champions League match against Cyprus' Pafos, claiming a comfortable 2-0 victory without expending much energy.
As for squad news, Dusan Vlahovic remains unavailable for the Turin side after picking up an injury against Cagliari and is still not ready to return. Federico Gatti is also out, having been injured in the cup tie against Udinese.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Bologna are unbeaten in their last three matches.
- However, Bologna have conceded in five consecutive games.
- Juventus have lost only once in their last ten matches.
- In their last ten head-to-head meetings, these sides have most often shared the spoils—six draws in total. Juventus have won the other four, while Bologna have yet to claim victory.
- Their most recent encounter at Bologna's stadium ended in a 1-1 draw.
Probable lineups
- Bologna: Ravaglia - Zortea, Heggem, Lykogiannis, Miranda - Ferguson, Moro, Odgaard - Orsolini, Cambiaghi, Dalinga
- Juventus: Di Gregorio - Kalulu, Kelly, Koopmeiners - McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso - Conceição, Yildiz, David
Prediction
I believe we'll see at least two goals in this match. Bologna traditionally play attacking, entertaining football, and in Juventus matches under Luciano Spalletti, there has only been one game with fewer than two goals. So the optimal bet here is over 2 total goals.
