Juventus vs Bologna: Serie A Match Preview

The Serie A clash at Allianz Stadium in Turin sees Juventus host Bologna on 19 April 2026. Juventus arrive in strong league position, sitting 4th with 60 points and a goal difference of 26, while Bologna are 8th on 48 points with a goal difference of 5. This is a Regular Season - 33 fixture, not a cup tie.

Juventus Availability

Juventus face notable absences in attack. J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. D. Vlahovic (Calf Injury) is sidelined and, as a leading centre forward, his loss is a major blow to their penalty-box threat. In goal, M. Perin (Injury) is doubtful, potentially reducing experienced depth behind the starting goalkeeper. Key creator and scorer K. Yıldız, with 10 goals and 6 assists, is available and expected to shoulder even more attacking responsibility.

Bologna Availability

Bologna travel with a lengthy absentee list. K. Bonifazi (Inactive) is sidelined. N. Casale (Injury) is sidelined. T. Dallinga (Injury) is sidelined, trimming their centre-forward options. B. Dominguez (Hip Injury) is sidelined. First-choice goalkeeper L. Skorupski (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, a significant concern defensively. Their main attacking outlets R. Orsolini (8 goals, 1 assist) and S. Castro (7 goals, 2 assists) are both available.

Impact Summary

Juventus lose a major finisher in Vlahovic but retain high-end creativity and goals through K. Yıldız and supporting attackers. Bologna’s biggest damage is structural: a reshuffled defence and backup goalkeeper behind an otherwise intact forward line led by Orsolini and Castro.
