Serie A, Turin – Bologna: precedents, statistics and probable lineups

The 35th round of the top Italian championship opens on Friday evening – at 8.45pm – with the advance match directed by Sozza

The Turin, fresh from the defeat against Inter, wants to end the season in the best possible way and give himself the chance to continue to cherish the dream of qualifying for a UEFA competition for a few more weeks. The Bologna he is approaching the historic Champions League goal with long strides and does not intend to capitulate a few centimeters from the finish line.

Juric’s team will take the field with one special uniform to honor the memory of Invincible, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the Superga tragedy. During the interval, space will be given to the notes of Sensounico, the band that wrote “A rainy day”, a song that has become the soundtrack of May 4th for fans of the Granata faith.

The precedents in Turin in Serie A

65 games
34 victories Turin
21 draws
10 victories Bologna

The outcome is a marked success for the Granata, unbeaten in over 84% of the clashes staged at the Olimpico Grande Torino. The rossoblù historically suffer this trip and in the last 44 years they have obtained the entire stake (always by measure) on only 3 occasions (the last of which – dated 03.16.2019 – bears the signature of Poli, Pulgar and Orsolini). The comparison on Friday was unpublished.

Probable lineups

Juric was not displeased with the four-man defense experiment showcased on Sunday, as admitted by the Croatian coach himself in the conference on the eve of the match against Bologna. However, a “return to the origins” is planned against President Saputo’s boys, with the rearguard made up of three interpreters who will respond to the name of Masina (in place of the suspended Tameze), Good morning And Vojvoda. Confirmation for the duo in the crucial area of the pitch Ricci-Ilic; outer lanes under the jurisdiction of Bellanova And Rodriguez. Toro’s offensive fortunes will rest on the shoulders of the tandem Sanabria-ZapataSupported by Vlasic which will act on the trocar. Poles protected by Milinkovic-Savic.

Turin (3-4-1-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Masina, Good morning, Vojvoda; Bellanova, Ricci, Ilic, Rodriguez; Vlasic; Sanabria, Zapata

The starting eleven proposed by Thiago Motta will be characterized by some variations compared to the one seen on Sunday at Dall’Ara: in the 4-2-3-1 proposed by the former Genoa coach, Calafiori will assist Lucumi at the center of defense as a replacement for Beukema; Posch And Kristiansen the full-backs identified to complete the unit in front of the goalkeeper Skorupski. On the trocar Orsolini he will return to wear the starting shirt and complete the department with El Azzouzi And Saelemaekers. The reference point for the rossoblù attack will be Zirkzee. Trust placed in midfield Aebischer And Freuler.
