Middling club Bologna FC (10-12-3, 33 points) is set to take on the defending Serie A champions and current league leaders Juventus FC (18-4-3, 57 points) at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Friday, Feb. 19th.
Bologna has been unbeaten in five of its last six games as they drift in the 10th spot of the current league table after being down in its bottom half for the most part of the season.
The team defeated reeling squad Udinese Calcio, 1-0, at the Stadio Friuli on Sunday, as per SkySports.
I Felsinei striker Mattia Destro scored the lone goal of the match 11 minutes before full time as the visitors broke the goalless effort of both squads for nearly the whole game.
It was Bologna's first win in Udine since 2005 as the team has also avenged its loss during the two clubs' first meeting this season on match day 6 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
Meanwhile, Juve is currently on a tear in the 2015-2016 Serie A season as it pulled off its 15th consecutive victory against no less than their number one contender this season and erstwhile league leaders SSC Napoli, 1-0, at the Juventus Stadium last Saturday, via The Guardian.
It was a zooming run for Massimiliano Allegri's squad as they climbed back from 11 points down during match day 10 to the top of the league in match day 25.
Italian striker Simone Zaza netted the winner for the reigning champs at the 88th-minute mark to come away with three points and take over league leadership from Partenopei in the process.
La Vecchia Signora had another great defensive performance, completing their eighth consecutive clean sheets while also unloading 17 goals in the said time frame. They are now a point above Napoli in the overall standings as a result.
Napoli suffered their first loss in nine games as they went down to second place. ACF Fiorentina is a far third, seven points behind the Gli Azzurri.
The predicted result is a 3-0 rout for Juventus over Bologna. Allegri's boys will keep on coming and there is a good chance that they can win their fifth straight domestic title.
Bologna starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Costa; Mbaye, Maietta, Gastaldello, Morleo; Zapata, Diawara, Turan; Mounier, Destro, Giaccherini
Juventus starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Barzagli, Evra; Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba; Dybala, Morata
