Europa League 2025-2026: Steaua Bucharest-Bologna, the probable formations

Today, at 6:45 p.m., Bologna will be on the field of Steaua Bucharest, a match valid for the third day of the Europa League regular season.

At the moment, the Felsinians have earned only one point in two matches played in Europe (tie with Freiburg). The Romanian team, on the other hand, has three points (one win and one loss).

Bologna must give up the leadership of Italiano. The Rossoblù coach, currently hospitalized with pneumonia, will be replaced by his deputy Niccolini. There are few doubts about the formation choices with Dallinga the central point, supported by the trio formed by Orsolini, decisive in all recent outings, Odgaard and Rowe.

On the other side, watch out for Birligea, a 25-year-old Romanian striker who can attack depth very well. Bologna is hunting for its first away win in Europe since back in 2002 (Intertoto Cup). First direct confrontation between the two teams.

The likely lineups.

FCSB (4-2-3-1): Tarnovanu; Cercel, Ngezana, Alhassan, Radunovic; Sut; Tanase; Cisotti, Olaru, Popescu; Birligea. All. Charalabous

Bologna (4-2-3-1): Skorupski; Holm, Vitik, Lucumi, Lykogiannis; Freuler, Moro; Orsolini, Odgaard, Rowe; Dallinga. All. Niccolini
