Player to watch: Riccardo Orsolini
Riccardo Orsolini is enjoying his seventh full season with Bologna and the midfielder has regularly chipped in with goals and assists during his long time at the club.
This season, Orsolini has scored seven times in 17 Serie A appearances and is well on track to beat his total from the previous campaign of ten goals.
Orsolini remains a key player for Bologna
Orsolini, who is expected to return from injury in time to face Torino, has three assists in Serie A so far this season and heads into Friday's match on the back of three goals in his last eight appearances across all competitions.
