Bologna take on the visitors Juventus in the round 15 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, December 14th at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna).
Bologna burst onto the scene the season before last, managing to finish fifth overall. That earned them a place in the Champions League, but the debutants looked weak there and never truly challenged for a playoff spot. In Serie A, there was also an expected drop to ninth place. Still, that campaign ended with a Coppa Italia triumph, which softened the disappointment. After the break, the Red and Blues look consistently solid again. They started the Europa League energetically, collecting points on a regular basis. A week earlier, they also managed to beat Parma in the cup, albeit not without difficulty. Most importantly, in Serie A they are once again fighting for a place in the top four. However, the latest rounds have not gone well, with a 1–3 defeat to Cremonese and a draw against Lazio. Despite these setbacks, their overall form in recent weeks remains competitive, especially at home. The results suggest Bologna are still capable of quickly bouncing back and staying in the race for European positions.

Juventus have changed their head coach once again. The Old Lady also came back to life in the 2023/2024 season, winning the cup and finishing third in the league. However, that period was followed by upheaval on the bench, and the next appointment failed badly, leading to another change by spring. That decision helped secure fourth place in Serie A, but stability still proved elusive. The following period again brought disappointment, both in international tournaments and at the start of the new domestic campaign. Patience ran out after eight matches without a win, including three defeats in a row, and another coaching change followed. The new era began with a narrow win over Cremonese, but was then marked by three consecutive draws. Only after that did Juventus return to winning ways, beating Bodo/Glimt and Cagliari, and then progressing in the cup against Udinese. In the last league round, however, they lost to Napoli. On the other hand, in the Champions League they finished confidently with a 2–0 win over Paphos. Recent performances show gradual improvement, but consistency is still lacking. Juventus remain dangerous, yet their results fluctuate too often to fully trust them in big domestic clashes.
Since 2023, all five most recent encounters have ended in scoring draws, ranging from 1–1 to 3–3. The matchup is considered quite even, and the game is expected to be tight. Still, this is a fixture where goals can come, so the recommended bet is total over 2.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5scored goals.
