After another frustrating stalemate last weekend, Juventus find themselves slipping further behind in the Serie A title race. The Bianconeri will aim to turn things around when they face Bologna on Saturday.
Juventus approach Saturday's showdown following a 1-1 stalemate with Lecce in their latest Serie A outing. Andrea Cambiaso opened the scoring with a deflected strike, but the Bianconeri were denied victory as they conceded an injury-time equalizer.
The Old Lady has developed a knack for sharing the spoils recently, with their last three meetings against Bologna all ending in draws. Among them was a dramatic six-goal thriller last season, where Juve staged an incredible comeback from three goals down to salvage a point.

Juventus team news
Injury issues have plagued Massimiliano Allegri's side, but there’s hope on the horizon. Young full-back Nicolo Savona and leading scorer Dusan Vlahovic are expected to return. Vlahovic, who has netted six goals against Bologna in his career, will be eager to break his 12-game Serie A drought at the Allianz Stadium, with his last open-play goal at home dating back to February.
However, the squad remains depleted. Back-up striker Arkadiusz Milik (knee) and the South American contingent of Juan Cabal, Bremer (both ACL), Nico Gonzalez (thigh), and Douglas Luiz (muscular) are still unavailable. There’s a possibility that Weston McKennie, who missed the Lecce trip due to a muscular issue, could return to action.
Bologna team news
For Bologna, their attack will revolve around emerging talent Santiago Castro, who has been directly involved in 10 goals this season (five goals and five assists).
Head coach Vincenzo Italiano, who rotated heavily during their midweek cup tie—where Castro was on the scoresheet again—is likely to field his strongest lineup. Key players such as Lukasz Skorupski, Dan Ndoye, and Sam Beukema are set to return.
On the flip side, Bologna’s injury list includes Nicolo Cambiaghi, Oussama El Azzouzi, and Michel Aebischer. There are also concerns surrounding Thijs Dallinga and Riccardo Orsolini, the latter having picked up a thigh strain in their recent cup match.
