Bologna are set to play Juventus at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Sunday in Serie A.

Bologna vs Juventus Prediction
Bologna are currently eighth in the league and have won two of their last five league games. They are 10 points behind 6th-placed Inter Milan, and while qualifying for a European spot looks unlikely at this point, Bologna must be happy with their current league position.
Manager Thiago Motta, who had brief spells with Genoa and Spezia in the Serie A in the past, has enjoyed a fairly good start to his time at his new club.
Juventus, on the other hand, are third in the league, two points behind second-placed Lazio. Their off-field controversies continue to dominate headlines, but Juventus have quietly done well in the past few months under Massimiliano Allegri. However, they have their last three league games.
Given how they started the season, Juventus will be happy to be sitting in Champions League spots again, and while there is no guarantee they will be there come the end of the season, there are positives that have emerged from what has been a very long campaign for the club.
Allegri, who at times looked dangerously close to leaving the club, looks settled once more, and young players like Fabio Miretti, Matias Soule and Samuel Iling-Junior have become regular features in the Juventus squad.
We expect Juventus to win here.
