Latest Bologna vs Juventus squad information
Juventus are without Kenan Yildiz due to a two-match suspension, so Francisco Conceicao could start. The defense is in serious crisis with Bremer, Gatti and Lloyd Kelly all injured, forcing Tudor to consider the option of pulling Locatelli or Cambiaso back to play as a center-back.
Dusan Vlahovic has returned to training but is likely to be on the bench. Meanwhile, Teun Koopmeiners is still uncertain to play due to an Achilles injury.
As for Bologna, they hope to have Nicolo Casale and Dan Ndoye back. Right-back Emil Holm is still absent.
Coach Italiano – returning from suspension – will have to choose between Thijs Dallinga and Santiago Castro for the centre-forward position. Riccardo Orsolini is almost certain to start on the right wing – he has scored two goals in his last three home games against Juventus and will set a personal record if he continues to impress here.
Latest expected lineup Bologna vs Juventus
Bologna:
Skorupski; Calabria, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Aebischer; Orsolini, Odgaard, Cambiaghi; Dallinga

Latest football commentary Bologna vs Juventus
With just four rounds remaining, the race for the final Champions League spot is heating up, with just three points separating the top five teams. Juventus have moved up to fourth place after a win over bottom side Monza – despite playing with one man down at half-time after Kenan Yildiz was sent off.
Juve had previously suffered a disappointing defeat to Parma. However, under the guidance of interim coach Igor Tudor, they have had 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, temporarily maintaining their advantage in the competition with the two Rome teams, Fiorentina and Bologna themselves.
A Champions League place is not just a matter of prestige for Juventus but also a matter of financial survival, so they cannot afford to stumble at Dall'Ara. The problem is that the "Old Lady" has only won 1 point in 3 recent away games.
Juventus, however, have a superior head-to-head record against Bologna: they are unbeaten in 25 consecutive Serie A games against them (17 wins, 8 draws) since February 2011. The last time Bologna beat Juve at home was in 1998.
However, the gap between the two teams has narrowed considerably. Bologna have drawn with Juventus four times in a row, including a dramatic 2-2 draw in the first leg of this season. After finishing 5th last season, Bologna are on the verge of overtaking Juventus and breaking into the top four for the first time.
Coach Vincenzo Italiano and his team were held to a goalless draw by Udinese, missing the chance to overtake Juve. However, they had defeated Inter Milan and reached the Coppa Italia final, so the team spirit was still quite good.
Bologna have a tough end to the season, facing Fiorentina, AC Milan and now Juventus. A win here would be a huge boost in the race for the top four.
