Juve Eyes UCL Berth Against Bologna
19 Apr
Summary
- Juventus secured fourth place after beating Atalanta.
- Bologna aims to end a 15-year winless streak against Juventus.
- Key players like Vlahovic and Skorupski are sidelined due to injuries.
Juventus solidified their fourth-place standing in Serie A by securing a vital 1-0 victory against Atalanta, thanks to a late goal from Jeremie Boga. This win propelled Luciano Spalletti's side two points clear of fifth-placed Como, with five matches remaining in the season. Juventus now looks to extend their unbeaten run to seven games as they host Bologna at the Allianz Stadium.
The Bianconeri boast an impressive home record, having lost only once at home in Serie A this season. Furthermore, Juventus holds a dominant unbeaten streak of 14 home games against Bologna, though three of their last four encounters at the Allianz Stadium have ended in draws. Bologna, despite their strong away form, enters this match on the back of a significant defeat in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Both teams are grappling with significant injury concerns. Juventus will be without striker Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik, with Boga potentially leading the line. Bologna's injury list includes goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski and Thijs Dallinga. Riccardo Orsollini, who recently ended a scoring drought, will be a key player for the visitors.
