Confirmed lineups for Bologna v Juventus

Bologna have been one of the surprise packages of the major leagues this season. They have not been as close to the top of the table as Girona in La Liga, but like the Catalan side, they have also confirmed their presence in the next Champions League in the last few days.

Under the orders of Thiago Motta, the historic Italian champions, who have been without silverware in recent years, will return to a European Cup they enjoyed in the 1964-65 season. 

Having secured qualification for the top club competition, Renato Dall'Ara's side will be looking for a success against Juventus on Monday that has eluded them since February 2011, when they won 2-0 at the Olimpico thanks to a Di Vaio brace. 

Of the last 47 official meetings between the two sides, therefore, Bologna have recorded just one win and 12 draws, while Juventus have won 34 times. 

Confirmed lineups for the clash

Bologna starting XI: Skorupski; Posch, Lucumi, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler, Aebischer; Orsolini, Urbanski, Ndoye and Odgaard.

Juventus starting XI: Szczesny; Danilo, Gatti, Bremer; Cambiaso, Rabiot, McKennie, Miretti, Kostic; Vlahovic and Chiesa.
