Team News

Bologna
Shakhtar
  • Bologna are without long-term absentees Lewis Ferguson, Oussama El Azzouzi and Nicolo Cambiaghi.
  • Samuel Iling-Junior came off the bench to score in the 2-2 draw with Como at the weekend and is pushing for a start.
  • Marlon Gomes recently returned to action following a spell on the sidelines.

Prediction

  • Bologna get their first ever Champions League campaign underway against experienced European outfit Shakhtar on Wednesday night. The Italian side have started the season poorly, drawing three times and losing one of their opening four matches.
  • Shakhtar have made a sub-par start to the campaign given their lofty standards, winning three of five league outings. History is on their side in European competition as they gear up for Wednesday's trip to Italy.
  • Bologna have struggled in the opening weeks under Vincenzo Italiano and they may falter against Shakhtar in midweek.

  • Is Reanto Dall'Ara Stadium suitable for the champions league ?? !

  • @Ortega_10 no

  • 2-1

  • 1-1

  • Don't want to hate but this is Europa League fixture

  • @StickandMove With how bad Bologna is atm, the team probably shouldn't even be in Conference League. I get that Motta wanted a move to a bigger team (well deserved for him), but they really could have found a better coach than giga overrated Italiano. His current Bologna team suffers from same issues his Fiorentina did, as soon as opposing team knows how to defend, he is completely lost tactically. 0 Creativity, just put it ball into a wide area and cross it. De Zerbi was available for instance.

  • Shakhttar will score 100%
