Bologna's 4th defeat in 5 Champions League matches against Lille (1-2) on Wednesday seems to have extinguished their last hopes of qualification... With 1 point on the board and a 5-point deficit on 24th place (the Top 24 offers a place in the final stages) with 3 European matches remaining, the Italian team needs a miracle to reach the last round of 16 of this Champions League. Defeated in their 2 home matches by the two French clubs, Monaco (0-1) and Lille (1-2), Bologna are unbeaten at Renato Dall'Ara in the Calcio, having picked up points against Atalanta Bergamo (1-1) and Lecce (1-0) on November 2. Victorious in Rome (2-3) on November 10, Orsolini's teammates (5 goals) were unable to confirm this feat in the capital as they lost at the Stadio Olimpico to Lazio (3-0) on the final day of Serie A.

Venice, red-bottomed in Serie A with 9 defeats in 13 matches, could be back in Serie B a year after leaving it. Pohjanpalo's team-mates (4 goals) have taken just 4 points from the 24 distributed in the last 8 Serie A matches, and have just lost their last 3 games in Lombardy to Inter Milan (1-0), to fellow promoted Parma (1-2) and to Lecce (0-1) earlier this week. Venice have not won a single away game, registering 2 draws and 6 defeats in Serie A and the Italian Cup.
