Prediction

Juventus 1 Bologna 1

Moneyline (ML)

Juventus (-167) sits atop the Serie A table by one point over second-place Lazio. Juventus has not looked like a first-place club or championship contender since returning, playing to scoreless draws against Napoli Wednesday in the Coppa Italia, and against AC Milan June 12. While the two clean sheets were nice, the lack of offense is rather alarming.

Bologna (+475) is a physical bunch and is actually a strong value at this price. Bologna has lost eight straight matches to Juventus across all competitions, but if there was ever a time where Juventus was ripe for the picking, it’s here. Bologna is worth a look with a small-unit play, but DRAW (+300) IS THE BEST BET.

A winning $10 wager on Juventus and Bologna playing to a draw nets a profit of $30.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+115) is a great play. Juventus has seemed rather disinterested since the restart, and Bologna is a physical side who are shown plenty of cards. Bologna will likely add to Juventus’ scoring woes in this defensive slog. What a value the UNDER is here.

La Juventus volvió a las prácticas y se pudo observar al delantero argentino Gonzalo Higuaín con notable sobrepeso en una imagen que algunos usuarios en redes sociales aprovecharon para criticar al delantero, ironizar por la situación de sobrepeso que aqueja la población debido al confinamiento y demás memes y chistes que hicieron muy divertido el trending topic en Twitter.

La Juventus se prepara para su vuelta a la actividad en la semifinal de Copa contra el Milan el próximo 12 de junio, sin embargo el delantero Higuaín tuvo que abandonar la práctica por una lesión en el muslo derecho, veremos cómo evoluciona la lesión y si estará listo para el duelo semifinal o bien para el regreso de la serie A pactado para el 20 de junio.

El próximo 20 de junio la Serie A italiana estará de regreso en la cancha y, el país europeo considera si es posible que el regreso sea con público. Recordemos que Italia fue durante varias semanas el país más afectado por las muertes resultantes de la pandemia de coronavirus.

Aún así, las autoridades italianas no han descartado que, si la pandemia se sigue retrayendo, podría haber público en las tribunas futboletas. Inicialmente el plan es que las actividades reinicien como la Bundesliga alemana y la La Liga española: sin público.

Pero, si el panorama luce favorecedor, habría una posibilidad de abris las tribunas a un número reducido de fans.

“Viendo la positiva evolución de la pandemia podrían flexibilizarse las reglas y el Gobierno sería capaz de aprobar una cierta cantidad de público en las tribunas, manteniendo las distancias sociales“, reporta La Gazzetta dello Sport, según Infobae.

Las discusiones relacionadas con esta propuesta se llevarán a cabo en estos días, por lo que pronto podríamos saber más.

How to watch Hellas Verona vs Juventus – Serie A: Date, time, channel, odds and live stream

Serie A table – Hellas Verona vs. Juventus live stream

Juventus takes on Hellas Verona Saturday in a Serie A matchup that you’ll only be able to watch on ESPN+. Juventus leads the head-to-head results, going 4-1-1 over the last six matches against Verona.

First-place Juventus will look to extend their lead over Inter Milan on the Serie A table standings with a win over Verona. They’ve been on quite the roll recently, winning five of their last six matches, with Napoli being their only loss in 2020 so far.

Verona sits in ninth place currently but could quickly climb the Serie A standings with a big win over Juventus. But they’ll have to perform better than they have recently, going 3-3-0 thus far in 2020. That likely means figuring out a way to stop Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the second-leading scorer in Serie A right now.

Sign up for ESPN+ now to make sure you don’t miss any of the best Serie A streams.

Serie A reveals its shocking, tone-deaf anti-racism campaign, which features pictures of monkeys

The artist said he created the artwork to ‘change people’s perceptions,’ and this is just a disaster.

The Italian soccer first division, Serie A, has faced intense public backlash over the past few months for its handling, or mishandling, of instances of racism with fans and the media.

It’s a major problem, one that Serie A officials have seem hesitant to address, or even acknowledge. Behavior of fans has been dismissed as the actions of a few bad apples, or not really that bad, or just Italian fans’ way of expressing themselves.

When a soccer newspaper labeled a matchup between two black players as “Black Friday,” it was again dismissed as people not being able to take a joke.

Finally, this week, Serie A announced that it was going to start taking things seriously. The league finally announced it was launching an anti-racism campaign and … they chose monkey imagery.

Seriously.

It’s a shockingly tone deaf response, and yes, it is real.

From The Daily Mail:

The artist is Simone Fugazzotto and he says he created the pieces to ‘change people’s perceptions’.

He said: ‘For an artist, there is nothing more important than trying to change people’s perceptions via their work.

‘With this trio of paintings, I tried to show that we are all complex and fascinating creatures, who can be sad or happy, Catholic, Muslim or Buddhist, but at the end of the day, what decides who we are is not the colour of our skin.’

Fugazzotto, it should be noted, is white.

Serie A apparently tried to get edgy here, or tried to re-appropriate the imagery that has been used to spread vile messages of racism at their games. It’s not the time, and they aren’t the people to do it. I’m sort of dumbfounded that this could even happen, but here we are.
