Sometimes football hands you a moment, and what matters is whether you take it. That is exactly where Juventus find themselves heading into Sunday night’s Serie A Round 33 clash against Bologna at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Bologna, however, arrive as dangerous, unpredictable guests, freshened by a strong domestic run but potentially carrying the weight of a heavy European exit.

Juventus’ Form — Riding a Stunning Momentum Swing
