Europa League official line-ups: Bologna vs. RB Salzburg

Bologna try to bring their Serie A form to the Europa League with Federico Bernardeschi and Thijs Dallinga as they host RB Salzburg.

It kicks off at the Stadio Dall’Ara at 20.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Roma vs. Midtjylland and Fiorentina vs. AEK Athens on the Liveblog.

The Rossoblu have strong momentum domestically with three consecutive victories capping off their nine-round unbeaten run.

The same is not true in the Europa League, as after the narrow defeat to Aston Villa, they beat Steaua Bucharest away, and were held to disappointing draws by Freiburg and SK Brann.

The latter had them down to 10 men for over an hour, so Charalampos Lykogiannis is therefore suspended here, with Ciro Immobile, Lukasz Skorupski, Jonathan Rowe, Remo Freuler and Nicolò Cambiaghi all injured.

Dallinga and Bernardeschi are chosen to lead the attack with Riccardo Orsolini.

RB Salzburg lost their first three Europa League games of the season against FC Porto, Olympique Lyonnais and Ferencvaros, but then defeated Go Ahead Eagles 2-0.

They are also stuttering domestically, managing only one point from the last two matches, yet still sitting top of the Austrian Bundesliga table.

Their absentee list includes Lucas Gourna-Douath, Karim Onisiwo, Takumu Kawamura, Justin Omoregie, Christian Zawieschitzky, John Mellberg and long-term injury case Karim Konaté.

Familiar faces include ex-Fiorentina defender Aleksa Terzic and former Roma midfielder Gourna-Douath.

Yorbe Vertessen is one to watch after scoring in his last two Europa League appearances.

Bologna: Ravaglia; Zortea, Lucumi, Heggem, Miranda; Ferguson, Pobega; Orsolini, Odgaard, Bernardeschi; Dallinga

RB Salzburg: A Schlagher; Lainer, Gadou, Rasmussen, Terzic; Yeo, Bidstrup, Diabate, Bischoff; Baidoo, Vertessen

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. Continental stakes raise the intensity, where away goals no longer apply but margins still feel razor thin. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
