Why Bet on Bologna?

Bologna has been the surprise team of Serie A, as it has secured a place in the next Champions League and now has the mission of taking the third place, leaving behind this same rival. 

The Rossoblu have just celebrated an important 2-0 win away to Napoli, thanks to goals from Dan Ndoye and Stefan Posch. In this way, Thiago Motta’s team reached 67 points, the same as Juventus. The season can be summed up as 18 wins, 13 draws, and five defeats. 

Precisely, the key to this excellent performance has been coach Motta, who has performed spectacularly in two seasons at the club, especially at the defensive level. Bologna can boast the second-best backline in Serie A, allowing 27 goals. It is only behind Inter, who conceded 19. 

The team’s offense has not been excellent, scoring 51 goals. That is the third-worst record among the top nine teams in the table, highlighting the defensive work. Joshua Zirkzee (11 goals) and Ricardo Orsolini (10) have been their best players in this area. 

The Rossoblu has only lost once in the last ten appearances and against Inter in a tight match. After that, they beat top clubs like Atalanta and Roma. 

Motta’s only absentee for this match is midfielder Lewis Ferguson, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury. 

Why Bet on Juventus?

A good news for Juventus. Although they have secured their place in the next Champions League, their campaign had been decidedly bad, but this Wednesday, they defeated Atalanta 1-0 and won the Coppa Italia. Undoubtedly, an excellent joy for players and fans. 

As far as Serie A is concerned, the Bianconero comes from a 1-1 draw with Salernitana, last in the championship. The goal for Massimiliano Allegri’s team was scored by Frenchman Adrien Rabiot in stoppage time. With this draw, this is the fifth time in a row that the club has drawn, which explains why it can no longer be runner-up and is struggling to avoid finishing fourth. 

The big problem for Juventus is that, in 2024, the overall performance fell apart. They went from fighting head-to-head with Inter to losing games that, in normal circumstances, they should have won. 

Juventus is the third team with the most points away from home, with 30, but they have seven games without a win on the road. 

Notably, Serbian Dusan Vlahovic, the team’s leading scorer with 16 goals, cut a four-game scoreless streak and gave his team the title against Atalanta. 

Allegri’s injured players are Danilo and Mattia De Sciglio. 

Final Betting Analysis: Bologna vs. Juventus

When these teams played this season in Turin, they drew 1-1. For the Bianconero, Dusan Vlahovic scored, and for their rival, Lewis Ferguson did it. They have two consecutive draws by the same score, while Juve has an unbeaten run of 25 matches. The last time Bologna won was on February 26, 2011 (0-2). 

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Bologna as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 2.631, Juventus has 3.145, and the draw is 3.145. 

Bologna is having a dream season under Thiago Motta, and their ultimate goal is to finish third in Serie A. Against Juventus, they will show their serious soccer and get the three points in front of their fans by 1-0. 

Go for a win for Bologna. If you bet $100 at 2.631, you will gain $163 for a total payout of $263.
