Each of the last five meetings between these two clubs have produced draws, with Bologna winless in 28 meetings against Juventus, dating back to February 2011. La Vecchia Signora's most-recent away defeat in this fixture came in 1998.
Bologna vs Juventus preview
After 14 rounds of Serie A fixtures, of this pair, it is the home side who kick off higher in the table, so can either enhance their Champions League aspirations with a victory on Sunday night?
This season so far has not gone according to plan for Juventus, sacking manager Igor Tudor in October, with Luciano Spalletti making a mixed start to life in the Turin hot-seat. Last Sunday night, Spalletti suffered his first defeat as Juve boss, beaten 2-1 by former side Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. This means, dating back to early-September, the Bianconeri have won only three of 11 Serie A matches, hence why they're down in seventh, eight points adrift the leaders.
On Wednesday night, la Vecchia Signora boosted their Champions League qualification hopes by beating Pafos 2-0 at home. After a frustrating first half, the North American stars got the goals in the second 45, with Weston McKennie and then Jonathan David on target to secure the points. Now, Juventus really need to move up the Serie A table, so will they leave Emilia-Romagna victors?
Bologna though, as already mentioned, are two points above their significantly more illustrious visitors, having endured only three defeats to date. Vincenzo Italiano's team were enjoying a nine match unbeaten streak, prior to a surprise 3-1 home loss against Cremonese to start December. Then, last weekend, Jens Odgaard was on target as they held Lazio to a 1-1 draw at the Olimpico.
Meantime, the Rossoblù were also winners in UEFA competition this week, fighting back from a goal down to beat Celta Vigo in the Europa League on Thursday. Former Juve man Federico Bernardeschi bagging both at Balaídos. The Petroniani are thereby unbeaten in five European outings, targeting a top eight finish, with Celtic and Maccabi Tel Aviv rather favourable January opponents. Here, before they travel to Riyāḍh for the Supercoppa, can Bologna beat Juventus at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara?

Bologna team news
Vincenzo Italiano is without first-choice goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski, so Federico Ravaglia will continue to deputise, while Martin Vitík, Nicolò Casale and Remo Freuler are also sidelined.
Against Celta Vigo on Thursday, Italiano did make five changes, aiming to balance domestic and European commitments, with Lewis Ferguson among those hoping to return to the lineup.
Bologna predicted lineup vs Juventus: (4-3-3): Ravaglia; Zoreta, De Silvestri, Heggem, Miranda; Ferguson, Moro, Odgaard; Bernardeschi, Cambiaghi, Castro.
Bologna player to watch vs Juventus
Federico Bernardeschi's Europa League double took his tally to four goals for Bologna, having scored just 12 times in 183 outings for Juventus, so can he damage his former side on Sunday night?
Juventus team news
Luciano Spalletti was heavily critised following last Sunday's defeat to his former side Napoli, specifically for his decision to take off star attacker and scorer on the night Kenan Yıldız with the match at 1-1.
Federico Gatti, Dušan Vlahović and Arkadiusz Milik remain sidelined, but star centre-back Bremer was back on the bench against Pafos, hoping to feature for the first time since September due to a meniscus injury. For now, Teun Koopmeiners will continue as part of the back three.
Juventus predicted lineup vs Bologna: (4-3-3): Di Gregorio; Koopmeiners, Kalulu, Kelly; Cambiaso, Thuram, McKennie, Cabal; Conceição, Yıldız, David.
Juventus player to watch vs Bologna
Jonathan David scored just his third goal for Juventus in mid-week but, with Vlahović and Milik sidelined, the Canadian is likely to lead the line, seeking his first Serie A goal since the opening day.
Bologna vs Juventus prediction
This Sunday night clash is too tough to call, hence why we're sitting on the fence and forecasting a draw, but don't expect a goal-fest, given that this is Serie A after all: Bologna 1-1 Juventus.
