Riccardo Orsolini and Jonathan Rowe return to the Bologna attack as Vincenzo Italiano and his squad prepare to take on Udinese in Serie A on Monday evening.
Bologna are coming in off the back of a 1-0 win away against Brann in the first leg of their Europa League play-off round tie on Thursday evening. The Rossoblu also picked up a 2–1 win over Torino in their most recent Serie A match, which ended a run of five league matches without a win.
Vincenzo Italiano’s side currently find themselves in 10th place on 33 points from 25 matches ahead of kick-off.

Udinese were beaten 2-1 at home against Sasuolo last time out in Serie A, which means that they are currently one point and one position behind Bologna ahead of kick-off on Monday night.
Bologna have made plenty of changes from their Europa League victory on Thursday night. Five fresh faces come in with Joao Mario, Tommaso Pobega, Riccardo Orsolini, Simon Sohm and Jonathan Rowe all returning to the starting XI in place of Nadir Zortea, Nikola Moro, Lewis Ferguson, Federico Bernardeschi and Nicolo Cambiaghi.
Udinese have made three personnel changes after their defeat against Sassuolo, with Kingsley Ehizibue, Jakub Piotorowski and Adam Buska coming in to replace Nicolo Bertola, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Vakoun Bayo.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 GMT.
