Bologna hosts Juventus on Friday in an Italia Serie A matchup. The game starts at 2:45 p.m. ET (8:45 p.m. local). Live streaming information is provided below.
No. 1 Juventus visits No. 17 Bologna. Juventus (12-1-1) has a four-point lead over second-place Roma and can create more space with a win on Friday. The club hasn't lost a match - in Serie A or the Champions League - since its 4-2 loss on Oct. 20 to Fiorentina. Juventus boss Antonio Conte and his side are coming off a 1-0 win on Sunday over Udinese and, despite a loaded schedule coming up, are focused on Bologna.
"It's an important moment of the season and clear heads are required," Conte said, via IB Times. "We've got a tough encounter ahead of us against a Bologna team in decent fettle. I'll look to play the right side for the game and we'll have the sole objective of getting the better of our opponents and winning.
"There are so many factors that will come into play when I'm picking my starting line-up, but I'm sure those who do feature will give me the right responses."
Bologna, meanwhile, sits with a 2-6-6 record. Since the Bologna's last win on Oct. 30 against Cagliari, the club has 3 draws and one loss in its last four games. Bologna's match on Saturday ended in a 1-1 draw against Parma.
"We'll have to put in a really spirited performance with lots of running, trying to play at the highest technical level possible," Bologna boss Stefano Pioli said of Friday's match. "If we use the ball well, we'll cause them some problems."
