On the 2nd of October, in this week 8 match, Juventus hosts Bologna in a meeting of these two mismatched Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 8th placed Juventus, recorded a 0-1 loss against Monza. Gytkjaer scored the first goal for Monza in the 74th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Juventus was frustrated by Monza’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Monza ended the match with the shutout victory. Juventus is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while bologna sits at 16th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Empoli. Filippo Bandinelli struck first for Empoli in the 75th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Bologna couldn’t muster any offence and Empoli ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Juventus won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Bologna is glad to have Marko Arnautović in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Juventus’s most prolific scorer has been Arkadiusz Milik. He has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches.
