&lt;p&gt;Another chapter in the race for the Champions League will be written at 20:45 CEST, with Bologna set to face Juventus at the Dall’Ara. After their win against Inter on Easter Sunday, the Rossoblù drew in Udinese last time out, allowing Juve to move above them. Now Italiano’s men want to reclaim fourth spot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the Bianconeri, who put their defeat to Parma behind them by beating Monza at home, want to stay exactly where they are. They also know that they have another six-pointer – away to Lazio – just around the corner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna and Juventus have drawn each of their last four Serie A meetings, with both sides scoring in each of those: they could draw five games in a row in the top-flight for the first time since between 1978-1980.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus are unbeaten in their last 25 Serie A matches against Bologna (W17 D8): it’s their longest current streak of consecutive games without a defeat in the competition; the last Rossoblù win against the Bianconeri in the top-flight was back to February 26th 2011 (0-2, at Torino, thanks to Marco Di Vaio’s brace).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna’s last Serie A home win against Juventus was back in November 1998 (3-0 with goals from Michele Paramatti, Giuseppe Signori and Davide Fontolan), drawing seven and losing 14 since.

However, among the top 10 sides in the Serie A table, Juventus have scored the fewest goals from set pieces (nine, five of those from penalties).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna are both the team with the most high turnovers in Serie A this season (242) and the side with the most pressed sequences (420).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Riccardo Orsolini, who played in Juventus despite never making his debut for the Bianconeri in Serie A, has scored two goals in his last three league appearances at Dall`Ara against the Piemontesi: should he score or provide an assist he would set his new record in a single Serie A season of involvement in goals (currently 15 as in 2022/23, thanks to 12 goals and three assists).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nicolás González has scored five of his 12 total Serie A goals from April onwards last season. Since his debut in Serie A, he netted 48% of his goals in the months of April, May and June (13 out of 27): May, in particular, is the month in which he has scored the most goals in the competition (six).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Kenan Yildiz (Juventus) (2)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Miranda, Pobega (Bologna); Cambiaso, Thuram, Weah, Savona (Juventus)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DOVERI (CARBONE – GIALLATINI) IV: MONALDI, VAR: MARINI, AVAR: MARIANI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan-Bologna (Friday 9 May, 20.45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio-Juventus (Saturday 10 May, 18.00 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
