Serie A: Napoli vs. Bologna – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV

Giovanni Di Lorenzo will return to the Napoli line-up after over three months in a home Serie A match against Bologna, with the Partenopei needing a win to secure Champions League qualification with two games to spare.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Maradona in Naples.

David Neres and Romelu Lukaku are unavailable for the Partenopei, who will, however, see Di Lorenzo return to the starting XI for the first time since the end of January.

Bologna have travelled to Naples without Nicolò Cambiaghi, Martin Vitik and Nicolò Casale.

Bologna have little hope of qualifying for the Conference League, as they are nine points below seventh-placed Atalanta, who they will meet in Bergamo next weekend.
