Juventus vs. Bologna: A Look at the Matchup

Juventus, despite their recent struggles, are still a force to be reckoned with in Serie A. Their home advantage at the Allianz Stadium will be crucial, but Bologna aren't pushovers. They've shown flashes of brilliance this season and will be looking to upset the Old Lady. This promises to be a captivating encounter.

Key Matchups to Watch:
