Betting tips for Bologna VS Juventus 12.01.2019

They play in the last 16 of the Italian Cup, with Bologna and Juventus playing at the Renato Dall`Ara Stadium, where Bologna will try to surprise Cristiano Ronaldo's side. Juventus have as their main objective the achievement of the Champions League and Serie A, so it is possible that Allegri gives minutes to some less used players. However, for Bologna, this game will be very important, especially given the difficult campaign that is taking place in Serie A. Juventus are favorites, but Bologna have nothing to lose, and urgently needs a victory that allows you to reverse the negative cycle.

The situation of Bologna in Serie A is really complicated. The team is in relegation zone, being in 18th place, with only 13 points added. Without winning, for Serie A, since 30 September, Bologna crosses an authentic desert, and they have already been 12 days without knowing the taste of victory. Even at home, the results have been disappointing, and are already 5 days without any triumph, registering 3 draws and 2 losses. The difficulty in scoring goals has been evident, and at home has not scored any goal in the last three games.

However, the goals came on the final day, and soon in a game that was expected to be harder to score. In the field of Nápoeles, Bologna had 2 goals, and was very close to adding a point, but the goal of Mertens, in the 88th minute, consummated the defeat. To reach here, Bologna eliminated Padova and Crotone, two games in which they conceded no goals, first with (2-0), and then with a (3-0). The difficulty lies in separating the two competitions, and as much as Bologna want to become the "chip" of Serie A, should not be easy task, or not faced the league leader, and the one that is considered the best team in Italy.

 Juventus are the undisputed leaders of Serie A with 53 points, with 9 points for second-placed Naples, and are currently a super-quiet Serie A team. Juventus leave the first place. This has allowed even greater management by Allegri, and the Italian coach has room to manage again his squad in these round of 16 of the Italian Cup.

With 19 games to go, Juventus have an incredible record of 17 wins and 2 draws, remaining the only unbeaten team in the league. With 38 goals scored is the team that materialized, and with 11 goals conceded is the best defense of Serie A. For what, the numbers do not cheat and Juventus is indeed on another level, compared to all competition. Even with one or the other change in the starting eleven, Allegri's squad is clearly a favorite on this round.


Juventus should confirm their favoritism within the 4 lines. The depth of the Allegri squad allows the vecchia signora to present itself with a high quality 11. This allows you not only to rest your top players, but also to maintain good physical and intensity levels, which may be too much for Bologna. The hosts are in big trouble, and they need a win urgently.
