Juventus vs Bologna

At least based on how Juventus has played for much of the 2022-23 season to date. Ah, but luckily for us, folks, Max Allegri has said that this is the start of ...

It sure would be nice to see something different from this team for the simple fact that much of what we’ve witnessed thus far has been utter crap and nothing to inspire any sort of confidence in Allegri’s project going forward.

A new season with a new look to the team and a new mindset as compared to what we saw prior to the international break when Juve was absolutely awful in a loss to Serie A newbies Monza. But if nothing good actually does happen, then this “new season” is going to look a lot like the previous season that supposedly ended two weeks ago in Monza. in the United Kingdom, 2:45 p.m. That is something to be excited about because so many things that Allegri has said over the past 16 months have gone right.

Oct 2 (Reuters) - Goals by Filip Kostic, Dusan Vlahovic, and Arkadiusz Milik earned Juventus a comfortable 3-0 home win over Bologna in Serie A on Sunday.

"It is a clean and important win, we have not been winning for a month.

There's some positive news for Allegri as he can recover some important players such as Manuel Locatelli, Wojciech Szczesny, and Adrien Rabiot. This will give ...

Meanwhile, for the five-men midfield setup, the tactician is going to start De Sciglio and Kostic as wing-backs. Massimiliano Allegri’s side will be gunning to end their poor form this weekend as they face Bologna. Szczesny will likely return in goal replacing the reliable Mattia Perin who has been starting in most of Juve’s game this season.

Juventus eased some of the pressure on manager Massimiliano Allegri as they ended a five match winless run by battering Bologna 3-0.

Milik absolutely batters a volley into the back of the net from inside the box. It's another sensational Juventus counter-attack, and it's rounded off by Vlahovic at the back-post with a towering header from McKennie's pin-point cross However, once ‘The Old Lady’ got their second, the shackles came off and they started playing with the kind of care-free abandon that fans have been desperate to see. The second half started in a similar fashion to the first, with neither team really finding any kind of dominance. That completely killed the game off, with Bologna heads dropping and Juve able to take their foot off the gas. That seemed to lift the pressure off Juventus, and they nearly doubled their lead shortly afterwards, only for Lukasz Skorupski to make a stunning save from Arkadiusz Milik’s close-range volley.

Here are our player ratings for Sunday night's encounter between Juventus and Bologna in the 8th round of Serie A, which ended in favor of the hosts.

He had his side’s most dangerous chance in the match his shot was deflected out by Alex Sandro. The Austrian striker was isolated for 90 minutes, but his incredible work rate is enough to earn him a favorable grade. The Bologna captain couldn’t link up the midfield with the attack as he usually does. A poor display from the winger against his old employers. Could have gotten an assist to his name but Milik’s header crashed against the post. Aside from his unorthodox assist for Milik, the Colombian hardly made himself noticed during his second half cameo before picking up Sandro with a nice cross. But will be disappointed for missing the chance to double his personal tally. Put Vlahovic on goal with a brilliant through ball. The former Napoli man sent a couple of warnings for Skorupski before smashing an unstoppable shot to grab the Bianconeri’s third of the night. The Frenchman looked energetic and enthusiastic, but his touch abandoned him on some occasions. The Euro 2020 winner made his return from injury and appeared to be in a good physical shape. The USMNT star formed a solid right side alongside Danilo.

Juventus brushed Bologna aside this evening in what ended up being a comfortable victory for Massimiliano Allegri's Bianconeri side as they defeated the ...

Sandro 7 – Had a good shot on goal and did well to create a few chances for his teammates throughout. Kostic 8 – Took his goal excellently and created a couple of chances for his teammates too. Milik 8 – Solid attacking display, got his goal and hit the woodwork too.
