Possible lineups for Bologna v Juventus

Juventus visit the Dall'Aria to take on Bologna in a crucial top-four showdown as the battle for Champions League qualification approaches a dramatic climax. Only one point separates the Turin side (62) in fourth from the Emilia-Romagna (61) outfit in fifth, with only four games in the Serie A season.

The 'Bianconeri' head into their away fixture fresh off a home win against bottom-of-the-table Monza last time out in the Italian top flight, while the 'Rossoblu' were held to a goalless draw at Udinese. But Igor Tudor's men see themselves in the midst of an injury crisis ahead of the game.

Eight players are missing for Juve for tonight's fixture, with the situation in defence looking the most critical. Long-term absentees Juan Cabal and Gleison Bremer have been joined by Lloyd Kelly and Federico Gatti on the list of injuries, while Teun Koopmeiners is missing in the middle of the park.

In attack, Arkadiusz Milik and Dusan Vlahovic are both sidelined with injuries, with the Serbian striker failing to return to match fitness after an injury at Parma. Kenan Yildiz will serve a two-match suspension after seeing red for elbowing Monza’s Alessandro Bianco last weekend.

On the other hand, Bologna head coach Vincenzo Italiano will be without Dan Ndoye and Emil Holm for Juventus' visit. Santiago Castro is reportedly not fit to start and will therefore accommodate himself on the bench, with Thijs Dallinga filling in for him in the hosts' attack.

Bologna's possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Skorupski (GK); Calabria, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Ferguson; Orsolini, Odgaard, Dominguez; Dallinga

Juventus' possible starting XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio (GK); Savona, Renato Veiga, Kalulu; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Gonzalez, McKennie; Kolo Muani
