Serie A: Bologna v Juventus Odds and betting Preview

BOLOGNA, ITALY – Stefano Pioli’s Bologna host league leaders Juventus this evening in their Serie A clash at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. Juventus start the game as strong favourites to win, and can currently be backed at best odds of 7/10 (bet £10 to make £7 profit) with Bet Victor. For those punters anticipating a victory for the home side, however, Bologna are on offer at 5/1 with Bet Victor, whilst the draw is available at a market best of 12/5 with William Hill.

Juentus are unbeaten in the Serie A so far this season, and currently sit top of the table, one point clear of rivals A.C. Milan with a game in hand. Antonio Conte’s side will be determined to secure three points in this afternoon’s fixture in order to remain ahead at this crucial stage of the season. Juventus, however, will be without the services of Simone Pepe, who liped off in their last fixture. In his absence Conte is likely to play Emmanuele Giaccherini up front alongside Alessandro Matri and Alessandro Del Piero. Bologna are currently sixteenth in the league, clear of the relegation zone by five points. They are undefeated in their last four meetings with Juventus, and will hope to extend that record today.

In the over/under betting the top price on over 2.5 goals being scored is 5/4 with Bet365, whilst under 2.5 goals is on offer at 4/6 with Paddy Power. For those punters who think that this game will end in a goalless stalemate, however, under 0.5 goals can be backed at longer odds of 8/1 with William Hill. On the other hand, those punters who think that this game will result in a feast of goals can back over 4.5 goals at identical odds of 8/1, also with William Hill.

Alessandro Matri has been Juventus’ most threatening striker so far this season, with nine Serie A goals to his name. Unsurprisingly Matri is favourite to score the first goal in today’s game; he can currently be backed to do so at a market best of 9/2 with Coral. Matri’s strike partner, Juventus veteran Alessandro Del Piero, is also thought to be a threat to the Bologna defence, and is available to open the scoring at 6/1 with Blue Square. Bologna’s most dangerous striker, on the other hand, is Marco Di Vaio, who can be backed to break the deadlock at 7/1 with Bet Victor.

Juventus are quoted at best odds of 13/8 with Paddy Power to win the match after leading at half time, whilst draw/Juventus is on offer at 7/2 with Coral. Draw/Bologna, on the other hand, is available at 12/1 with Blue Square, whilst Juventus/Bologna can be backed at considerably longer odds of 66/1 with Boylesports.
