Coppa Italia: Milan vs Bologna – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Luka Jovic is expected to win the race to lead Milan’s frontline against Bologna in the Coppa Italia final, with Thijs Dallinga likely to get the nod over Santiago Castro for the Rossoblù.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (19:00 GMT) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Compared to last Friday’s Serie A clash, Rafael Leao returns for the Rossoneri and will take up his usual position on the left wing, with Christian Pulisic on the opposite flank in support of Jovic.

Youssouf Fofana is also back in midfield, while Alex Jimenez is set to keep Kyle Walker on the bench once again, as the Englishman approaches the end of his Milan spell.

Jens Odgaard and Dan Ndoye will return to the starting XI after Bologna’s 3-1 defeat at San Siro on Friday, with Lewis Ferguson expected to partner Remo Freuler in midfield.

Vincenzo Italiano is likely to leave former Rossoneri full-back Davide Calabria on the bench at first, favouring Emil Holm to start at right-back.
