By Victor Martins, FootballPredictions.NET, 12:13 21/01/2026

The Europa League game on Thursday sees Bologna do battle with Celtic, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.

Bologna will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 1-2 Serie A loss in their previous game against Fiorentina. It seems likely that Rossoblu will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Federico Ravaglia, Emil Holm, Torbjørn Heggem, Martin Vitik, Juan Miranda, Nikola Moro, Tommaso Pobega, Riccardo Orsolini, Jens Odgaard, Benjamín Domínguez and Santiago Castro.

Bologna boss Vincenzo Italiano has no fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this clash thanks to a fully injury-free squad to pick from. Eivind Helland will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

Possible Bologna team to play Celtic

Celtic will go into this game following a 0-2 Scottish Cup win versus Auchinleck Talbot in their most recent outing. We are inclined to think that The Bhoys might utilise a 4-3-3 system, starting Kasper Schmeichel, Tony Ralston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Arne Engels, Callum McGregor, Benjamin Nygren, Hyun-jun Yang, Daizen Maeda and Sebastian Tounekti.

Due to a completely injury-free group available to select from, Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has zero fitness concerns to report ahead of this game. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Callum Osmand, Jota, Shin Yamada and Hayato Inamura.
