Juventus welcome Bologna to Turin on Wednesday looking to continue their unbeaten run of 48 games in Serie A.

The Italian champions made it eight wins from nine games this season against Catania at the weekend to top the table with 25 points.

However, Bologna have struggled for form this season and they occupy 17th spot with seven points from their opening nine matches.

Juventus won the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season, but Bologna have lost just one of the last five meetings between the two sides.

Juventus could start with the same side that beat Catania, although Sebastian Giovinco is expected to take the place of on-loan Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner.

Meanwhile, Bologna are expected to continue with Alberto Gilardino and Alessandro Diamanti in attack, but Mikael Antonsson is a doubt with a thigh strain.

Recent form:

Juventus: DWWDW
Bologna: LWLLL

Possible lineups:

Juventus: Buffon; Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci; Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Pirlo, Asamoah, Vidal; Vucinic, Giovinco

Bologna: Agliardi; Morleo, Antonsson, Garics, Cherubin; Taider, Guarente, Pazienza; Gilardino, Gabbiadini, Diamanti

Sports Mole says: 2-0
