Bologna are a very difficult side to beat at home, with Vincenzo Italiano’s team winning four of their six matches in front of their home fans this season. They’ve netted 10 goals across those matches (1.66 per game) and can pose a real threat to a Juventus side that have won just two of their seven away games this season.

Bologna have scored in each of their last five matches across all competitions, losing just one of those games, which was a 3-1 defeat to Cremonese - their only home defeat of the season. Bologna have scored in five of their six home games this term, only failing to do so against Torino, who put up a very convincing defensive rearguard on that occasion.

Juventus are unlikely to be capable of such a solid defensive performance on the road, having conceded in each of their seven away matches in Serie A this season. Juventus aren’t getting battered in those matches, with eight goals conceded overall, but the consistency by which they allow the opposition to find the back of the net makes Bologna an attractive option to score.

Orsolini is one of those players who is willing to shoot from almost any angle and distance. This makes him an attractive player to back for shots and shots on target, but seeing as he’s priced at 1.28 for 2+ shots in this clash, taking Orsolini to find the target at 1.50 feels like a more compelling option.

Orsolini has had a shot on target in four of his last five Serie A appearances, with the Italian totalling 38 shots across his 14 appearances in the top-flight (3.54 per 90) with 16 of those attempts finding the target (1.49 per 90). This appealing shot volume has returned six goals for Orsolini in Serie A, making him Bologna’s top scorer in the division.

The 28-year-old was just as effective in Serie A for Bologna last season with an average of 1.34 shots on target per 90 across his 30 appearances in Serie A. This shows that Orsolini’s shot metrics stay consistent when testing them across a larger sample size. Orsolini netted 15 goals in Serie A last season, so he is certainly capable of increasing his goal output as the season rolls on with such a promising shot average.

Kenan Yildiz is a superstar in waiting and has been in top form for Juventus so far this season with eight goal contributions across his 13 Serie A appearances. 

He’s had 31 shots across those matches (2.60 per 90) with 14 of them finding the target (1.17 per 90), working out to a shot accuracy of 45%.

No Juventus player has scored more goals this season than Kenan Yildiz (five), which is pretty significant as Juventus have a range of attacking options, including the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David, who Yildiz has been able to outscore, despite not being a number nine.

Yildiz has registered five goal contributions across his last five appearances in all competitions, so he enters this class with real momentum, which can aid him in finding the target for our selection here.

Yildiz has had a shot on target in each of his last five appearances in Serie A, and is expected to play as one of two central forwards here, which naturally aids his chances of finding the target.

Bologna can be a very intense side, this is the philosophy of head coach Vincenzo Italiano, who had previously done an excellent job at Fiorentina, and is now trying to break the old guard in Serie A with Bologna. Bologna rank 4th in Serie A for fouls committed (15.1 per game), which highlights just how aggressive they can be when out of possession.

This foul record has translated to just 25 yellow cards (1.78 per game), but their high foul rate suggests that they are always at risk of testing the referee. Juventus are an excellent side when it comes to winning fouls, with Luciano Spalletti’s side winning 154 fouls across their 14 matches in Serie A this term (11.0 per game).

This record has seen Juventus draw 2+ cards from their opponents in 11 of their 14 matches in Serie A (78.5%), including in each of their last three games in the Italian top-flight. Bologna picked up four yellow cards in the initial league meeting between the sides last season, and are likely to finish with a similar count here when considering Bologna’s intensity and Juventus’ strength when it comes to drawing fouls and cards.
