A winner must be decided after 90 minutes or penalties, so without extra time, and goes on to face Napoli in Monday’s Final.

This is the Final Four format of the Supercoppa, so Bologna enter as Coppa Italia holders against Serie A runners-up Inter.

The tournament started last night with Napoli beating AC Milan 2-0.

Bologna are still missing injured Lukasz Skorupski, Remo Freuler and Nicolò Casale, but Martin Vitik is back in the squad.

Castro is chosen to lead the attack, with support from Orsolini, Jens Odgaard and Federico Bernardeschi.

Emil Holm and Juan Miranda are the full-backs.

Inter know Denzel Dumfries will be out of action for at least a couple of months after undergoing surgery to stabilise his ankle.

Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian and Raffaele Di Gennaro are also sidelined, but Hakan Calhanoglu did make the trip to Saudi Arabia, albeit not fully fit.

Davide Frattesi was expected to get a rare start in midfield with Piotr Zielinski and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but he is benched yet again, while Luis Henrique takes over on the right.

Lautaro Martinez is initially rested, so Bonny partners Thuram upfront.

Another change sees Josep Martinez in goal for his first appearance since he was involved in a fatal car accident on October 28.

Bologna beat Inter 1-0 in their most recent meeting in April, a result that effectively steered the Scudetto towards Napoli.
