The Serie A 2015-2016 season had so far been a disappointment for defending champions Juventus (1-3-2, 5 points) as they can't seem to build any momentum. On Sunday, they will face bottom-dweller Bologna (1-5-0, 3 points) in Turin to try and gain only their second win of the season.
Juve suffered its third loss during their match against Napoli last Saturday at the Stadio San Paolo, 1-2, as per Bleacher Report.
Goals by Partenopei strikers Lorenzo Insigne and Gonzalo Higuaín put Maurizio Sarri's boys on top at the 26th and 62nd-minute marks.
Zebras' midfielder Mario Lemina was able to answer immediately at the 63rd to put his team on board, but it was the closest Juve had gone until full time.
With a lone victory so far in the season, La Vecchia Signora is nailed at the bottom quarter of the league table and may even be in danger of relegation if they continue their disappointing play throughout the year.
Newly-promoted team Bologna is worse as only Carpi is under it in the overall standings.
I Rossoblu was defeated by Udinese, 1-2, last Sunday at their home stadium of Stadio Renato Dall'Ara to hand them their second consecutive loss and fifth straight for the season.
Midfielder Anthony Mounier scored the Greyhounds lone goal at the 31st to go up 1-0, but Udinese Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Duván Zapata each found the back of the net in the second half to complete a late rally, via SkySports.
If Massimiliano Allegri wants Juve to go back to its winning ways, then this game versus Bologna is the perfect start.
Prediction: A close 1-0 victory for Juventus.
Juventus starting lineup (4-3-1-2 formation): Buffon; Padoin, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Lemina, Hernanes, Pogba; Pereyra; Dybala, Zaza
Bologna starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Mirante; Ferrari, Oikonomou, Rossettini, Masina; Rizzo, Diawara, Pulgar; Mounier, Destro, Giaccherini
