Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano is expected to field most of his best players as he wants his side to bow out of the Champions League in style in their last match at Sporting Lisbon.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.
The Rossoblu are already mathematically eliminated from the competition despite their 2-1 comeback win over Borussia Dortmund in the last round, but their best seasonal scorer Santiago Castro should still be on the pitch.
Dan Ndoye could also make the starting XI, playing in the offensive trio behind the striker alongside Giovanni Fabbian and Samuel Iling Junior, with Riccardo Orsolini sidelined with injury.
Lewis Ferguson is set to start as a holding midfielder, pairing up with Nikola Moro, while Nicolò Casale has chances of getting the nod over Jhon Lucumi as a central defender.
Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres is not sure about starting the match due to a thigh issue, as Conrad Harder is ready to replace him up front.
