Bologna News

Injury Report and Unavailability: There are no injuries reported except  Takehiro Tomiyasu who is unavailable as he is competing in the Tokyo Olympics.

Expected Changes and Strategy:  L Skorupski could start between the posts. L De Silvestri, K Bonifazi, A Soumaoro, and M Dijks could lineup in the back four. R Soriano, J Schouten, A Baldursson, R Orsolini, N Sansone could play in midfield. F Santander should be leading the lines.

Bologna Starting XI (Likely)

Lukasz Skorupski, Lorenzo De Silvestri, Kevin Bonifazi, Adama Soumaoro, Mitchell Dijks, Roberto Soriano, Jerdy Schouten, Andri Baldursson, Riccardo Orsolini, Nicola Sansone, Federico Santander.

Captain Options

Erling Braut Haaland is the hottest young striker in the world and is the subject of much transfer speculation. The Norwegian was third in the Golden Boot race in Bundesliga last season as he scored 27 goals and made 8 assists. He is the standout captain pick in this fixture.

Marco Reus is a talisman for the Dortmund side. Even as many other superstars left BVB for pastures new, Reus has stuck by the eight-time league champions. The German scored 8 goals and made 8 assists from 32 appearances last season in the Bundesliga.

Differential Picks

Roberto Soriano could be an interesting differential pick. He is heavily involved in the attacking play for Bologna and was their top scorer last term with 9 goals and six assists.
