Bologna-Juventus is a match valid for the thirty-seventh day of Serie A and is played on Monday at 20:45: likely formations, predictions, live TV, streaming.
After what happened in the last weeks this Bologna-Juventus, to all intents and purposes a direct clash, has a “different” flavor. First of all, the two teams already have the mathematical certainty of participating in the next Champions League: seven days ago the officialdom thanks to Atalanta’s victory over Roma. There is still at stake, however, a prestigious third place, which is especially coveted by the Felsinei, who only three times in their history had done better in an entire season considering the three points per game since ever.
But the biggest news concerns Juventus, which in the aftermath of winning the Coppa Italia – Vlahovic’s decisive goal in the final against Atalanta allowed the Bianconeri to break a three-year title fast – has exonerated Massimiliano Allegri, temporarily entrusting the bench to Paolo Montero, in the role of ferryman. The Livorno-born coach, who has been at odds with the management for some time now, ended up paying for the rant he had on the sidelines of the match with Dea. Taking his place, in the coming weeks, could be that very Thiago Motta who now sits on the bench of Bologna, at the helm of which he has achieved an authentic masterpiece. The Italo-Brazilian coach will soon unveil his future but first there is a third place to conquer: it would be nice to achieve this umpteenth goal against what could be his next team, which at the “Dall’Ara” has not even lost since 1998. In fact, Juventus has gone undefeated 41 times in the last 42 previous meetings with Bologna.
Bologna-Juventus: the latest lineup news
In addition to the long-suffering Ferguson, Motta must also forgo Zirkzee, who may have already finished the season. In attack, instead of the Dutch center forward, it will be Odgaard’s turn, while on the three-quarter it is a ballot between Fabbian and Urbanski. In the back instead, the duel is between Calafiori and Beukema, with the former favored.
Montero is not expected to upset Juve tactically and in attack will rely on the tried-and-true pairing of Chiesa and Vlahovic. The Uruguayan coach’s doubts concern the midfield, where McKennie is tailed by Miretti. Weah, on the right, will also be challenging Cambiaso.
The prediction
The one admired in the Coppa Italia was a Juventus that was practically unseen in the second half of the season, in which the Bianconeri strongly disappointed. Suffice it to say that in the league they have not won for a month and a half (last success on April 7 with Fiorentina). Bologna, which in front of its own public this year has lost only to Milan and Inter, should therefore be able to avoid defeat, considering also that on the other side there is a change of technical guidance to be metabolized. Both should go down to the wire.

BOLOGNA (4-1-4-1): Skorupski; Posch, Lucumì, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler; Orsolini, Aebischer, Urbanski, Saelemaekers; Odgaard.
JUVENTUS (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Iling Jr.; Vlahovic, Chiesa.
