JUVENTUS v BOLOGNA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Juventus are the current league leaders after winning eight and drawing one of their nine league matches played this season to date. They won the league last season without losing a game so their unbeaten league run now stands at 47 matches. Their matches are averaging slightly less than three goals per game with a similar average recorded in matches played only at home. Bologna have won just two of the nine matches they have played this season and only one of five on the road. These matches have produced an average of exactly two goals per game.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Juventus have arguably the second best midfield in Europe after Barcelona. Andrea Pirlo proved himself to be an outstanding midfield player at Euro 2012 as he dominated that area of the field in several games but especially against England. Pirlo has scored three goals from the centre of midfield and his overall contribution can see Juventus have more than half of total possession. Bologna lost their last away match to Fiorentina, despite having more than half the possession which only led to one shot on target. Alberto Gilradino has scored five goals this season and is a key player for the side.

JUVENTUS - BOLOGNA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

In some cases it is pointless to ignore the obvious and this match is an example of that situation. Juventus are big favourites to win this match and continue their unbeaten run. Their talented midfield will be able to create plenty of opportunities and at least two should be taken. Bologna will do well to even a score a goal but one successful strike is unlikely to prevent defeat at the home of the reigning champions.

Take the 1.27 for Juventus at Stan James.

JUVENTUS - BOLOGNA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

A two goal winning margin is predicted for Juventus as all the statistics point to a convincing home win. Even if Bologna do score Juventus have enough advantage in ability and form to score at least twice in reply. That means Juventus can cover a handicap of at least one goal so should be backed accordingly. Juventus to win to nil makes some appeal but in any case Juventus giving up more than one goal is recommended. Beginners not familiar with Asian Handicap can find info here:

For the bet: Juventus can cover 1.5 goals at 1.86 with 188Bet.

JUVENTUS - BOLOGNA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The relevant evidence is contradictory as based on one group of figures less than three goals looks the bet but then Juventus’s scoring rate at home suggest a relatively high scoring match. On balance the fact that Juventus can score more than one goal and Bologna may create a consolation points to a final tally of more than two goals.

BetVictor go 1.65 for over 2.5 goals.
