The action in Italy’s Serie A continues this weekend, as Juventus look to enter the title race.
The Old Lady sit sixth after 14 rounds of matches, but they are six points adrift of the top spot. Juventus come into this round after avoiding defeat in all matches this season, but they have played out draws in each of their last two.
Bologna could be an interesting rival on Saturday. The surprise package from last season have won four of their last five, and they could move into the top seven with a win this weekend.
