Bologna want to snatch third place as Jens Odgaard steps in for Joshua Zirkzee, but Juventus debut under interim coach Paolo Montero after sacking Max Allegri.

It kicks off at the Stadio Dall’Ara at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and SalernitanaVerona on the LIVEBLOG.

Both teams have already qualified for the Champions League and are locked together on 67 points, so this could well decide who finishes third.

There is a celebration in the city for their return to Europe, but Joshua Zirkzee and Lewis Ferguson are out injured, while Adama Soumaoro is back on the bench for the first time a year after his knee surgery.

Odgaard therefore leads the way with support from Dan Ndoye and Santiago Castro, as both Riccardo Orsolini and Alexis Saelemaekers are left on the bench.

Juventus won the Coppa Italia on Wednesday, then sacked coach Max Allegri two days later, stating his behaviour in that Final was ‘incompatible with the values’ of the club.

Youth team coach and former hard-man defender Montero takes over for the remaining two games of the season, but is so far not messing with the 3-5-2 system.

Mattia De Sciglio and Paul Pogba are the only remaining absentees, as Nicolò Fagioli is on the bench for the first time this term, now that his ban for gambling has expired.

Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic continue to lead the way.
