Juventus will look to continue their Serie A dominance when they face Bologna on Sunday, October 20 on Matchday 8. The champions reclaimed the top spot in the Serie A a fortnight ago with a win over rivals Inter Milan and would be looking for a routine victory against the minnows.

Preview
Maurizio Sarri's men remain unbeaten in the league despite failing to hit top-form during most of their games. But the Old Lady played some of their best football against Inter Milan last time out. They sit just one point ahead of Inter after seven games and will be looking to extend that gap on Saturday night.

On the other hand, Bologna have had a poor start to their season as they are currently sitting at 11th with just two victories in seven games. Despite their league standing, the club had a very good outing against Lazio at home in their last fixture. But, a trip to Turin might just prove too much for Sinisa Mihajlovic's side.

Top picks
Cristiano Ronaldo has had a quiet season having scored just thrice in 6 games in the league. However, the 34-year-old, who scored his 700th career goal earlier this week, is always a threat in front of the goal. Higuain came from the bench to score the winner against Inter. His movement and ability to link-up with the midfield might just warrant him a start. Another Juventus top pick would undoubtedly be Paulo Dybala, who recently has found himself back into Sarri's plans and has already found the net once while assisting in another goal.
Captain and Vice-Captain Selection
Captain: Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain
Vice-Captain: Paulo Dybala, Rodrigo Palacio

Juventus vs Bologna Dream11 Prediction
Juventus 3-0 Bologna
The game away to Juventus might just prove to be too difficult for Bologna. They will surely look to hit the home team on the break, but the Juventus defence should have it under control. Thus, a flattering result for Juventus looks very likely.
