Freiburg are aiming for two European wins in a row as they make the trip to Emilia Romagna to face Coppa Italia holders, Bologna.
Midfield duo Patrick Osterhage and Maximilian Eggestein were on the scoresheet as Julian Schuster’s side secured a 2-1 win against Basel on home soil last week, though they will face a stern test in Bologna this evening.
The lineups for tonight’s clash are as follows:
Bologna – 4-2-3-1: Skorupski – Holm, Vitik, Lucumi, Lykogiannis – Ferguson, Freuler – Orsolini, Odgaard, Cambiaghi – Castro
Freiburg – 4-2-3-1: Atubolu – Treu, Ginter, Lienhart, Makengo – Eggestein, Osterhage – Beste, Manzambi, Grifo – Adamu
Quick take: Match context: momentum and small details could decide this one, especially set-pieces and transitions. Form and fitness will matter; expect managers to rotate carefully around the congested schedule. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
