Juventus hosts Bologna in round 8 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, October 19th at Allianz Stadium (Turin)
Before the break for international matches, Juventus gained an important victory over Inter in the d'Italia derby with a 1-2 scored. This victory allowed Juventus to take first place in the standings. I watched this match live, and I would like to note that Juventus looked very convincing, and Inter, in spite of its success, has a long way to go to change Juventus on the top of Serie A. According to the media, there are no injured players in Juventus, and Sarri will have a full clip for choosing the starting lineup. I liked how the former Arsenal’s midfielder Ramsey joins the game - he gives the coaching staff chances for variation in the squad. And we see that the guy is adding from match to match. So I think that Juventus players will be all right in terms of mood and physical shape.

But I cannot say it about Bologna. As for the last four matches before the break, Bologna played for the result and seemed a bold team, but it held all the successful matches on its pitch. On the road, the team closes and plays the bus, although it has a lot of good forwards. But at the same time, there is no sensible playmaker who would provide his forwards with goal attempts. This is the club’s problem, which manifests itself very well in games with stronger rivals, such as Juventus.
In my opinion, the difference in the class of teams is obvious and it will be the key point in the game. Over the past 5 years, Juventus has been building a top club in Europe, inviting players of the level of Ronaldo, Dybala, etc., but the most important thing in the top club is just the bench. Currently, Juventus has a full-fledged bench of high-class football players who must decide the outcome in such matches with a less organized opponent. I mean, even if Sarri completes the starting lineup, diluting it with the players from the bench, this should not affect the result. I think that Juventus will win with a difference of at least two goals.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with -1.0 handicap
