Good defensive withdrawal from Vanderson
First offensive on the left, with the bleeding rise of Miranda. But the Monegasque right-back plays cover perfectly.
A lawn far from ideal
The pitch is passable but not up to the usual Champions League standards. Players should in particular be wary of a long, dented strip near the sidelines.
Let's go to Bologna!
It was the Rossoblu who kicked off this match on the 4th day of the Champions League league phase!
The Champions League anthem sounds
The players have just entered the pitch at the Renato-Dall'Ara stadium. Azeri Aliyar Aghayev will referee the debates in northern Italy.
The Monegasques must regain confidence
Beaten by Angers (0-1) on Friday, Monaco took only one point out of nine in its last three Ligue 1 matches. Enough to cast doubt on its ability to compete for the title against PSG, ASM being relegated to six points from the lead, and even overtaken by OM in the rankings.
The Rossoblu better in Serie A than in the Champions League
After a delicate start to the Championship, Bologna continues its recovery after beating Lecce (1-0) on Saturday. The Italians had a second success in a row, and remain in eight matches without a setback. Not the case in C1 on the other hand, where Bologna has still not won (2 defeats, 1 draw) and badly needs points.
ASM no longer far from the play-offs
In tough times in Ligue 1, the Monegasques, still undefeated in C1 (2 wins, 1 draw), must react. Monaco has the opportunity to redeem itself after two losses in a row and take a big step towards the play-offs: around 10 points needed according to predictions, ASM has 7.
The compositions of this Bologna-Monaco
In the absence of Denis Zakaria, the Magassa-Camara duo is aligned in midfield with the Akliouche-Golovine-Ben Seghir trio in front of him and Breel Embolo up front. Vanderson returns to his place on the right side of the defense after a suspension in L1. Mohammed Salisu and Folarin Balogun are also injured.
Majecki – Vanderson, Singo, Kehrer, Mawissa – Camara, Magassa – Akliouche, Golovine, Ben Seghir – Embolo
Vincenzo Italiano preferred Santiago Castro to ex-Toulouse Thijs Dallinga in attack. Samuel Iling-Junior and former Niçois Dan Ndoye will be the dynamiters in the corridors of this 4-2-3-1.
Skorupski – Posch, Beukema, Lucumí, Miranda – Moro, Freuler, Fabbian – Iling-Jr, Castro, Ndoye
Hello everyone
From 9 p.m. don't miss the duel between Bologna and Monaco during the fourth day of the Champions League. Provisional fourth with seven points out of nine possible, the Rocher club intends to continue and push the Italians to the bottom of the ranking.
Above all, Adi Hütter's protégés will try to extend their invincibility on the continental scene. In the event of another victory, ASM would come very close to qualification.
