Predicted Lineup for Monza: Di Gregorio – Izzo, Mari, Carboni – Ciurria, Pessina, Gagliardini, Kyriakopoulos – Colpani, Mota, Colombo

Bologna

Adama Soumaoro is a long-term absentee for Bologna, though the visitors have few personnel issues beyond that. Bologna dug out a 0-0 draw with champions Napoli in their last runout.

Predicted Lineup for Bologna: Skorupski – Posch, Beukema, Lucumi, Kristiansen – Aebischer, Freuler, Ndoye, Ferguson, Karlsson – Zirkzee
