Bologna hosts Juventus in round 38 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, May 23rd at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna)
The final game of the season is ahead. Bologna scored 40 points in advance and thus protected themselves from relegation to the lower division. One gets the impression that the players are already on vacation with their thoughts. The team has not managed to score three points in six consecutive matches, although there was only one strong opponent in the indicated segment (Atalanta). Sinisa Mihajlovic's charges do not have any tournament tasks. There are four players in the infirmary. The lineup will be sub-optimal, and players don’t have proper motivation. Given this, we are unlikely to expect quality football from the hosts of the upcoming confrontation.

Yes, Juventus won two trophies under Andrea Pirlo (Super Cup and Italian Cup), but in general, the 2020/2021 season is considered by most analysts to be a failure. The quality of the game leaves much to be desired, the coaching decisions are surprising, and the team did not show anything in the most important tournaments (Champions League and Serie A). In the Italian championship, there is only one round left to play, and the Black-and-Whites have not yet completed the minimum task for the season. Now the club is on the 5th line of the tournament standings. To make it to the Champions League group stage, the Zebras need to beat Bologna and wait for Napoli or Milan to fail. If the points of the Neapolitans and the Milanese are equal, Pirlo's men will remain in 5th place and will play only in the Europa League, which could lead to the departure of Ronaldo, Pirlo, and other key figures. And the club may suffer great financial losses. Juventus easily won the Scudetto for nine years in a row, and now it may be out of the TOP-4.
It is obvious that we should bet on the visitors. Unmotivated Bologna cannot win six matches in a row and is in bad shape. Juventus is super-motivated. The visitors need to earn three points and watch how Milan and Napoli play in parallel matches. The Old Lady has no problems in the attacking line, and all the key players are ready to appear in the starting lineup. Beyond that, the Bianconeri have a complete advantage in head-to-head confrontations: 10 consecutive victories with a total score of 22-3. Let us add that Juventus won the two last matches against Bologna with the same score of 2-0. And this trend is likely to continue.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with -1.5 handicap
