Bologna vs Juventus: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction

Juventus travel to face Bologna in Serie A as they look to haul themselves into the European spots following a topsy-turvy first half of the season.

Last weekend's 1-1 draw with newly promoted Venezia brought the Old Lady back down to earth after three wins in a row, with their inability to garner momentum under Massimiliano Allegri being a cause for concern this campaign.

Bologna, meanwhile, are nestled in mid-table and are reeling from back-to-back defeats after a promising start to the season.

Bologna vs Juventus head-to-head record

Juventus have won the last 11 meetings between these two sides, conceding just four goals while doing so.

Bologna vs Juventus score prediction

No one can quite predict which version of Juventus will show up this weekend, with their toils this season summed up by the fact they topped a Champions League group which included holders Chelsea and were held by newly promoted Venezia in the same week.

Bologna are a dangerous outfit at home - keep an eye on Scottish left-back Aaron Hickey - but their recent record against Juventus gives them little reason to be optimistic.

Another banana skin could await for the Bianconeri.
