Seeing as Vinman is not allowed to say anything negative about Juve for the remainder of the season, I will carry on. ;)

Seriously, the key will be whether Bologna feel adventurous, I don't think they will, and we all know what a b@stard Romanista Mazzone is too. I can see us struggling to break them down, it won't be a pretty match.

Bologna who are coming over at Delle Alpi are uneasy opponents for different reasons: first of all because, after racing for a place in Uefa competitions a few weeks ago, which was a target out of reach at the beginning of the season, their main target at moment is to protect their current place in the table. The table, in fact, is extremely short and the Rossoblu, who haven’t won since March, 6th in Udine, if defeated again, may find themselves fighting not to fall back to Serie B.

However Carletto Mazzone is experienced enough to be able to keep the team in smooth waters and was able to organize them in a way that fit the players’ peculiarities particularly well, arranging the defence in particular and without forgetting to relaunch fundamental players, Bellucci above all. Juventus, as far as they’re concerned, are continuing their Scudetto race alongisde Milan, in a sprint that hadn’t been so exciting and hard-fought for years and the match with their direct opponents on Sunday, May, 8th is likely to be a decisive stage.

The Bianconeri come from a struggled as well as exciting win against Lazio: the match at the Olimpico showed once again the real character of Capello’s lads, who are able to handle absences and difficulties thanks to their players’ character and class. Nedved’s goal against the Biancocelesti is the symbol of Juventus’s determination and ‘hunger’ for victory.The history of the challenge against Bologna, in Turin, is clearly on the Bianconeri’s side, as the latter won 34 out of 61 matches, losing 4, the last of which dates back to, fancy that, 25 years ago.
