Preview: Bologna vs SK Brann – prediction, team news, lineups
Leading by one goal after a close-fought first leg, Bologna will aim to finish the job on Thursday, when they reconvene with SK Brann in the Europa League playoffs.
Vying to meet either Roma or Freiburg in the last 16, the pair will meet for the third time this season, after a league-phase draw at Stadio Dall'Ara and last week's win for the Italian side in Norway.
Continuing their recent return to form, Bologna seized a crucial lead last Thursday evening, as Santiago Castro's early strike secured victory in Brann.
As a result, the Emilian side are well set to progress from their first UEFA knockout tie for 26 years, having also extended an impressive Europa League unbeaten streak.
