Preview: Juventus vs Bologna - prediction, team news, lineups Still fighting for a precious top-four finish in Serie A, Juventus will welcome mid-table Bologna to Turin on Sunday evening. While Juve are pushing hard for a place at Europe's top table, their Rossoblu rivals were emphatically dumped out of the Europa League in midweek. Match preview Juventus narrowly prevailed in a battle of two Champions League contenders last weekend, when they sneaked past Atalanta with a 1-0 victory in Bergamo. It was a somewhat lucky win over La Dea, who dominated throughout, but the Bianconeri certainly took full advantage of Como's subsequent loss to Inter Milan. With six rounds remaining, the Turin giants moved up to fourth place - with Como and Roma close behind them - and they could even finish as high as second if Napoli and AC Milan slip up. Unbeaten in their last six Serie A matches - collecting four clean sheets along the way - Juve have been transformed since Luciano Spalletti took charge in November, turning his new team into a pressing machine. Juventus have averaged 1.96 points per game under his leadership - significantly higher than Igor Tudor's 1.5 - and only Inter have gained more points during that period. With their top-four rivals both playing before them this weekend, the Bianconeri can respond to other results with a win over Bologna on Sunday. Looking at the history books, precedent suggests that they might: undefeated in 13 Serie A home matches against Bologna, Juve last lost a league game to the Rossoblu more than 15 years ago. ............ Juventus Serie A form: D W W D W W Bologna Serie A form: W L W W L W Bologna form (all competitions): W L W L W W Team News Though influential midfielder Weston McKennie will return after serving a suspension, Juventus are facing a striker crisis this weekend. Continuing their injury-hit campaigns, Dusan Vlahovic is ruled out with a calf problem, while Arkadiusz Milik (thigh) could be sidelined until the end of the season. Both Jonathan David and Lois Openda have failed to perform since signing last summer, and potential false nine Kenan Yilidiz continues to struggle with knee inflammation. Taking advantage of the situation, January arrival Jeremie Boga has scored four times in his last six appearances; the Ivorian forward previously recorded four goal involvements against Bologna during his last spell in Italy. Meanwhile, Mattia Perin's brief reign as first-choice goalkeeper was paused when he came off injured against Genoa earlier this month, meaning Michele Di Gregorio will stay put between the posts. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; Boga Bologna possible starting lineup: Ravaglia; Zortea, Lucumi, Heggem, Miranda; Moro, Freuler, Pobega; Orsolini, Castro, Rowe ............ We say: Juventus 2-0 Bologna While Juve are on the up, Bologna looked a broken side by the full-time whistle on Thursday, so they will be both mentally and physically fatigued. On home turf, the Bianconeri should comfortably take care of business, ensuring they hold a top-four position with just five games to play. .

Yildiz remains a doubt for Juventus match against Bologna Kenan Yildiz has established himself as an important player for Juventus and is regularly among the first names on the team sheet at the Allianz Stadium. The club will be relying on him as they prepare for their Serie A clash against Bologna on Sunday. The fixture is another must-win test for the Bianconeri as they continue their pursuit of a place inside Serie A’s top four. ............ Yildiz has been in excellent form for the Old Lady throughout the campaign and continues to justify his growing importance in the squad. Luciano Spalletti has shown full trust in the Turkiye international and considers him a key pillar in his rebuilding project at the Allianz Stadium. ............ According to reports, there is a strong possibility that Yildiz may not be fit for the Bologna match, as Juventus do not wish to rush his recovery. It is reported that the situation is being managed carefully with the club prioritising his long-term fitness over immediate selection. They are expected to only utilise him when he is fully fit in order to avoid any risk of aggravating the issue and potentially extending his time on the sidelines. ............ .

Official: Locatelli signs new long-term Juventus contract extension Juventus have officially announced that captain Manuel Locatelli has put pen to paper on a new long-term contract extension, which will tie him to the club until the summer of 2030. Locatelli’s previous deal had been due to expire in the summer of 2028, and recent reports indicate that his new deal comes with an increase in wages from around €3m per season to roughly €4m per year. ............ The Italy international signed off on his contract on Friday, which was officially announced later on the same afternoon. Locatelli joined Juventus in a €37.5m deal from Sassuolo in 2021 and has since gone on to make 224 appearances for the club across all competitions, registering nine goals and 17 assists during that time. ............ “We all remember when Manuel, upon his arrival in 2021, spoke with great emotion about having always been a Juventus fan,” said CEO Damien Comolli in a statement on the club website. “His contract renewal therefore represents the natural continuation of the growth of his leadership on the pitch, of his indomitable Juventus spirit, in complete harmony with the values and ambitions of our Club. It is a further step towards giving solidity and continuity to our sporting project.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/official-new-locatelli-juventus-contract-2030/

Como will compete with Juventus for Real Madrid attacker Juventus have maintained a long-standing interest in Gonzalo Garcia, who has struggled for consistent playing time at Real Madrid due to the exceptional form of Kylian Mbappe. During the recent Club World Cup, Garcia seized his opportunity when Mbappe was unavailable through injury, delivering standout performances and emerging as a key figure for Madrid throughout the competition. His contributions earned him greater recognition and a place in the first-team setup. Despite impressing when called upon, Garcia’s chances have remained limited. Xabi Alonso had shown a willingness to give the young forward opportunities before he was sacked, yet Mbappe’s presence continues to limit his involvement. ............ Garcia has demonstrated patience as he waits for further opportunities, but the lack of regular minutes could influence his future. A move away at the end of the season appears increasingly possible, particularly with interest from clubs seeking to strengthen their attacking options. ............ Juventus remain keen to add Garcia to their squad, with Luciano Spalletti expected to target a new striker at the conclusion of the campaign. Garcia is viewed as a viable option who could develop further with consistent playing time. However, Como has also entered the race for his signature. Under Cesc Fabregas, the club has established a reputation for recruiting and developing young players from Real Madrid, an approach that has been well received by the Spanish club. This relationship could influence any potential deal, with the possibility of a buy-back clause being included. ............ .

Juventus very keen on signing three top veterans Juventus have long been recognised as a club willing to rely on experienced players, and that strategy could continue at the end of the current season as they seek an immediate return to trophy winning form. Several high profile names are reportedly under consideration as Juventus look to strengthen their squad. ............ Juventus remain interested in Robert Lewandowski, Bernardo Silva and Alisson Becker. The trio are seen as players capable of bringing quality, leadership, and a winning mentality to Turin. Two of those players, Lewandowski and Silva, could potentially become available as free agents when their current contracts expire. That possibility would make any move particularly attractive for Juventus as they attempt to strengthen without excessive transfer fees. FC Barcelona are reportedly prepared to let Lewandowski leave if he does not agree a new contract, while Silva is said to have already signalled his farewell to Manchester City. ............ Juventus are now believed to be pushing strongly to bring the three players to Italy and integrate them into the squad of Luciano Spalletti. The club see these additions as a way to accelerate their rebuilding process and restore themselves as genuine contenders. Each of the targeted players has won multiple honours with their current clubs, and their experience in high pressure environments could prove invaluable. Juventus are aiming to blend that pedigree with their existing squad in order to raise standards across the team. ............ .

Five Juventus players ruled out of Bologna clash but key trio should recover in time Juventus are counting on Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram and Lloyd Kelly to start against Bologna on Sunday evening. Thanks to their slim win over Atalanta in Bergamo, the Bianconeri leapfrogged Como for the coveted fourth place in the Serie A table, taking full advantage of the Lariani’s 3-4 defeat to Inter. ............ Unfortunately for Spalletti, injuries are starting to pile up once again. At least five Juventus players won’t be available for Sunday’s match, beginning with Dusan Vlahovic, who suffered a calf problem during the warm-ups against Genoa. Moreover, a new chapter in Arkadiusz Milik’s ordeal began on Tuesday, with the striker suffering a second-grade muscle injury in training. The Pole could be out for the rest of the season. Mattia Perin has yet to recover from the injury he suffered against Genoa, as his right calf remains sore. Juan Cabal has already been ruled out for the rest of the season with an adductor injury, while Vasilije Adzic’s condition will be assessed in the coming days. The youngster is hoping to recover for the San Siro trip. ............ While the aforementioned five players are certainly unavailable this weekend, Spalletti and his staff are optimistic about Yildiz, Thuram and Kelly. The head coach revealed in his interviews after the win in Bergamo that these players (alongside Pierre Kalulu and Chico Conceicao) have been carrying slight physical problems. ............ .

Former Juventus & Arsenal goalkeeper Alex Manninger dies aged 48 The football world is in mourning, as former Juventus goalkeeper Alex Manninger passed away in a tragic car accident on Thursday. The terrible incident occurred around 8:20 AM. The 48-year-old, who was driving a Volkswagen minivan, crashed into a train at an unguarded level crossing near Salzburg. While the first responders arrived swiftly on the scene, they unfortunately weren’t able to rescue the former shot-stopper. Manninger was travelling alone in his vehicle, while the train contained around 25 passengers, and none of them was harmed. ............ In 2008, he signed for Juventus as a backup for Gianluigi Buffon. He went on to produce solid performances when the iconic goalkeeper was out with an injury, especially in the 2008/09 campaign. During his four years with the Bianconeri, he made 42 appearances, conceding 43 goals and registering 13 clean sheets. He earned a Scudetto medal before his departure in 2012. Afterwards, he had a four-year spell at Augsburg before signing for Liverpool in 2016, where he spent one last campaign before hanging up his gloves. Manninger had also earned 33 caps with the senior Austrian national team. ............ Juventus saluted their former goalkeeper with an emotional tribute posted on the club’s social media accounts. “Today is a very sad day. We have lost not only a great athlete, but a man of rare values: humility, dedication, and an exceptional sense of professionalism,” reads the post. “Alex Manninger will be remembered for the example he set, on and off the pitch. Juventus expresses its deepest condolences on the passing of Alex Manninger and stands close to his family in this moment of grief.” ............ .

Juventus aiming to replace Zhegrova with young Spaniard Juventus have reportedly identified Chuki as the right profile to fill in for Edon Zhegrova, who could be on his way out of the club. The Bianconeri had a poor summer transfer campaign, as none of their four arrivals managed to cement themselves as regular starters, perhaps with the exception of Jonathan David, who only did so due to the absence of the injured Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik. ............ The Kosovar suffered a serious injury last season, and while he had already been clinically cleared upon his arrival at Juventus, he has yet to regain his optimal form. This season, Zhegrova has made 21 appearances across all competitions, but only one as a starter. He has yet to register a goal or an assist, and wasted a glorious chance in extra time against Galatasaray, leading to Juve’s Champions League elimination. Therefore, many sources in the Italian media believe Juventus are ready to listen to offers for the struggling winger. The Serie A giants have already set their sights on a potential replacement for Zhegrova, as they eye a move for an exciting young Spaniard. ............ Iván San José Cantalejo, or simply known as Chuki, is a Real Valladolid youth product who has now cemented himself as one of the main pillars at the club. This season, the youngster has contributed with seven goals and eight assists in his 31 appearances in LaLiga2 (Spain’s second tier). Chuki originally plays as an attacking midfielder, but the left-footed starlet can also feature as an inverted right winger. Therefore, the Spaniard would be able to replace Zhegrova and act as an understudy for Francisco Conceicao. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-edon-zhegrova-chuki/

Juventus player ratings vs Atalanta: Boga & Holm return to haunt Bergamo Although it wasn’t their best performance, Juventus returned to Turin with three invaluable points in the bag thanks to a narrow win over Atalanta. The hosts had the upper hand in the first half, but they were impeded by Lady Luck, especially when Giorgio Scalvini’s header hit the post. Nevertheless, the Bianconeri gradually grew into the game before taking the lead through Jeremie Boga after the break. The visitors were able to cling on to their slim lead until the end of the match. ............ Juventus XI (3-4-2-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 7 A positive return to the starting lineup for the Italian goalkeeper, who earned a clean sheet. Did well to come across and catch Berat Djimsiti’s header, and was always alert to the danger. Pierre Kalulu – 6 ............ Gleison Bremer – 7 A dominant display at the back from the Brazilian defender, who made a flurry of decisive clearances. Won his duels against Nikola Krstovic and Gianluca Scamacca. Lloyd Kelly – 6 ............ Emil Holm – 7 An impressive performance from the Bologna loanee, especially when considering he’s been out of action for two months. Delivered the cross that sparked the winner, and created a golden chance squandered by Thuram. He even outmuscled the powerful Sead Kolasinac on one occasion. Manuel Locatelli – 6.5 The Juventus captain made important interventions at the back, and held his own against Ederson, but his attacking contribution was limited this time. Khephren Thuram – 6 ............ Andrea Cambiaso – 5 The Genoa youth product was in a sea of troubles when defending against Charles De Ketelaere and Davide Zappacosta, while his attacking contributions weren’t always on cue. Francisco Conceicao – 6.5 ............ Kenan Yildiz – 5.5 The Turkish star created Juve’s solitary chance of the first half when he found Kelly with an accurate cross. However, Luciano Spalletti decided to haul him off early in the second period after losing possession in dangerous areas one too many times. He was obviously struggling with fitness. Jeremie Boga – 6.5 Like Holm, the Ivorian produced the goods against his former employers. After a listless first half, he was able to pounce on a goalmouth scramble to score, albeit with a scrappy touch. He also ran more than any other player in what was a generous display. Substitutes Jonathan David – 6 ............ Federico Gatti – 6.5 A convincing cameo from the Italian defender who solidified Juve’s backline and made crucial blocks, albeit he risked giving away a penalty for a handball. Teun Koopmeiners – 5.5 ............ Fabio Miretti – N/A Filip Kostic – N/A . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-player-ratings-vs-atalanta-boga-holm-return-to-haunt-bergamo/

Chiellini confirms plans to buy Juventus loanee: “We’re very happy” Juventus Director of Football Strategy Giorgio Chiellini expects Jeremie Boga to remain at the club beyond the current campaign. The 29-year-old made a name for himself in Serie A during his time at Sassuolo between 2018 and 2022, but struggled to leave his mark at Atalanta. ............ Since his arrival, the winger has been producing the goods at Luciano Spalletti’s court. He was initially identified as a backup for Kenan Yildiz on the left side, but he’s been recently deployed as a false 9 due to Jonathan David and Lois Openda’s underwhelming displays. Boga has already contributed with four goals and one assist in his nine Serie A appearances for Juventus. Therefore, the club’s directors now firmly believe that exercising the option to buy him is the right choice, especially considering the relatively low transfer fee (circa €4.8 million). ............ On Saturday, Chiellini confirmed that Juventus have been pleased with Boga’s performances, making it abundantly clear that, barring any unforeseen twists, the player will remain at Continassa beyond the current campaign. “He has settled in well and has an affordable price, he was also coming from difficult months,” said the legendary Italian defender in his interview. “It is an evaluation for the end of the season, but obviously, we are very happy. Likely, his future will still be black-and-white.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/chiellini-confirms-plans-to-buy-juventus-loanee-were-very-happy/

Juventus 1 - Atalanta 0: Initial reaction and random observations The last time Juventus stepped foot onto the field in Bergamo, it was not a very good night of football. As much as there was statistical domination from Luciano Spalletti’s squad, the end result of the Coppa Italia quarterfinal against Atalanta was a smash-and-grab only magnified by how bad things went once the Bianconeri fell behind. Two months later, though, it was Juventus flipping the script. ............ Taking a page — be it officially or unofficially — out of the book of the man which whom he will be coaching against in a couple of weeks at the San Siro, Spalletti played about as corto muso of a game as he’s coached since coming to Juventus on Saturday night. Outside of Jérémie Boga’s goal all of three minutes in the second half off some bad defending from Atalanta, Juventus didn’t record another shot on goal. But, for the subsequent 40-plus minutes, Juve’s defense that looked like Swiss cheese the last time they were in Bergamo made things stand, allowing Spalletti to wipe a little sweat off his brow after recording a 1-0 win over La Dea that allowed the Bianconeri to temporarily move up into fourth place ahead of Sunday’s Como-Inter Milan showdown. It wasn’t pretty — especially in a first half where you were left wondering “How are Juventus not losing?” as they walked off the field at the New Balance Stadium and into the locker room. It wasn’t the kind of statistical domination in which we saw from Juve the last time they were in Bergamo. But in classic smash-and-grab or corto muso kind of style, what lacked in style points didn’t actually impact the fact that Spalletti’s squad is heading back to Turin with three huge points in the bag. And they can now sit back on their respective couches back home and hopefully enjoy a Sunday of calcio that will determine whether they finish the weekend in fourth or fifth place. But these days, the wins, three points, that’s what matters more than anything. (The same thing is true in October and November, too, of course, but especially now as they chase down Champions League qualification.) Juventus need as many points as humanly possible in these final two months of the 2025-26 season — and it doesn’t matter if it’s a comfortable win or what they did against Atalanta on Saturday night. Because three points are three points, jack. That’s what they did in Bergamo — which was a far cry from their last visit to this same stadium. To add to it, there’s this: Entering Saturday night, no team in Serie A had previously beaten Atalanta at home in the 2026 calendar year. That’s hard to believe after the first half that Juventus put forward against Atalanta. They were not good. They struggled massively in the opening 20-25 minutes. They were struggling to deal with Atalanta’s press. They were struggling to string passing sequences together both because of said press or just because they weren’t all that good when they actually had the ball for more than a few seconds. The general feeling was that Juve just needed to get to halftime, Spalletti needed to get things settled down and reorganized a little (or a lot) a bit. ............ Spalletti didn’t make the changes right out of the half like so many wanted, but Juventus just looked so much more of a cohesive unit at the back compared to whatever the heck they were doing in the first half. That is what allowed Spalletti to go corto muso in the second half after Boga’s go-ahead goal. And maybe that’s the only way he thought his team could win. So, if that’s the case, then so be it — it’s three points in the bag. Either way, Juventus got the win. They needed this win to kick off this huge three-game stretch that also sees Bologna and AC Milan over the next two weekends. Juventus just got three massive points against a team that had been just as good as Como during the 2026 portion of the schedule, so for that this feels even the bigger of a win. Sometimes you just have to win ugly — and Juventus did exactly that in Bergamo. RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Pre-game thought No. 1: Ah, the nervousness that sets in the second you see the stadium lights at the Gewiss Stadium Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia New Balance Arena. Must be another trip to Bergamo! ............ That being said, I was very happy to see that Michele Di Gregorio was able to follow up his very exciting substitute appearance against Genoa on Monday with a very good showing against Atalanta. You wouldn’t be wrong to say that he was one of Juve’s best players in Bergamo. A couple of those saves he made were big ones and he did a really good job commanding his penalty area. Just a really good sign that he could actually be past the struggles that landed him on the bench in the first place. Not going to oficially declare that to be the case just yet, but we’re trending in the right direction. ............ Spalletti confirmed after the game that both of his attacking wingers, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceição, weren’t 100% fit but he decided to start them anyways to see how things went. Now it makes sense as to why both of them — but especially Yildiz — were rather quiet against Atalanta. By the way, that was only the second time this season Yildiz has started a game and been subbed off before the 60th minute. You could tell that he was not exactly happy when the camera cut to him on the bench and he was taking his jersey off, but I’m guessing it’s more that Yildiz was just pissed off about how he played rather than being ticked at Spalletti for the early hook. The forward who replaced Yildiz in the 58th minute, Jonathan David, he was exactly what Juventus needed as they were really settling into the corto muso approach. Some of his hold-up play and distribution of the ball was excellent. As much as Boga’s goal was what got Juve three points, David’s effort helped keep them in a winning position. It also helped that they defended so well as a team in the second half. It didn’t matter if it was Gleison Bremer or Lloyd Kelly or Federico Gatti after he came on, they all defended damn well. ............ Emil Holm was a rather surprising starter in my book, but some of the hustle plays he made in the second half really proved to be incredibly important. Just look at his effort as part of the sequence that led to Boga’s goal. See? Important. Manuel Locatelli put in absolute work on the defensive end — which is not a surprise. But even for him, some of the numbers he put up were quite impressive. Matching up against one of the best all-around midfielders in Serie A in Ederson, Locatelli had three tackles, four clearances, four blocked shots, six recoveries and a total of 12 defensive contributions. That’s stuff you usually see from Bremer. Instead, it was Locatelli. That’s a big effort in a corto muso-style win. Juventus just won at one of the hardest stadiums to win at with 45% possession, an xG of just 0.63 and half of their shots on goal total was one that might be a little questionable. Atalanta had nearly three times as many touches in the opponents’ box than Juventus did. It was a great defensive effort once they got the lead. I don’t know if Spalletti was banking on Atalanta running out of gas, running out of ideas or all of the above, but he sure did play things right out of halftime even though he probably had the vast majority of us scratching our heads with no subs out of the break based on what happened in the opening half. Then again, that’s why he’s just signed a contract extension with Juve and we’re here, I guess. ............ Giorgio Scalvini would look wonderful in bianconero and it’s a shame that Atalanta would want more than Juventus paid for Teun Koopmeiners to bring him to Turin whenever that would be possible. Speaking of Koopmeiners, did he anything of note after coming on for Khephren Thuram with 20 minutes to go? I’m not so sure. Speaking of Thuram, my guy’s finishing continues to be extremely hit and miss. Unfortunately, he missed a big, big chance in this game. Thankfully it didn’t come back to haunt his team. ............
