Latest team news for Venezia vs Bologna
Although Venezia will welcome back John Yeboah after his suspension, they will be without key midfielder Hans Nicolussi Caviglia due to a one-match ban. In addition, the home team will still be without their first-choice goalkeeper.
Filip Stankovic – currently on loan from Inter Milan – remains absent due to a knee injury, along with Richie Sagrado, Marin Sverko, and Michael Svoboda. Therefore, Ionut Radu will continue to be the starting goalkeeper.
Since making his Serie A debut this season in early February, Radu has conceded only four goals and kept three clean sheets in six starts. During that time, he has been the goalkeeper with the most saves in Serie A with a total of 26.
In attack, underperforming players like Yeboah, Mirko Maric, Daniel Fila, Christian Gytkjaer, and Gaetano Oristanio will be competing for a starting spot in the upcoming match.
On Bologna's side, they will be without their key striker Santiago Castro – who was recently called up to the Argentina national team for the first time – due to suspension.
Thijs Dallinga is likely to be given a chance as a replacement, supported by speedy and skillful players like Dan Ndoye, Jens Odgaard, and the main striker Riccardo Orsolini – who has just reached double-digit goalscoring in Serie A for three consecutive seasons.
Ahead of Tuesday's Coppa Italia semi-final, coach Vincenzo Italiano has several personnel issues to consider across all positions. However, the good news is that no players suffered injuries after the emphatic 5-0 victory over Lazio.
Latest predicted lineups for Venezia vs Bologna
Venezia:
Radu; Schingtienne, Izdes, Cande; Zerbin, Doumbia, Duncan, Perez, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Maric

Latest football match prediction: Venezia vs Bologna
Although Venezia put up a valiant fight to draw with Napoli – title contenders – in their last match, largely thanks to the brilliance of reserve goalkeeper Ionut Radu, they remain rooted in the relegation zone as the season enters its final stages.
Since parting ways with former captain Joel Pohjanpalo, Venezia have lacked a true center forward. As a result, they have scored only one goal in their last six matches, failing to win any and drawing four consecutive games.
After securing promotion to Serie B through the play-offs last season, coach Eusebio Di Francesco's team is struggling to stay in Serie A. They haven't won a game since their victory over Cagliari last December.
As a result, Venezia are now second to last in the standings, five points behind the safe 17th position, with only nine rounds remaining to turn things around.
After three consecutive home games without scoring – against Roma, Lazio and Napoli – Venezia will face another tough schedule when they host Bologna at the Stadio Penzo.
In the first leg, played in Emilia-Romagna, Venezia suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat. A similar result in the second leg could deal a major blow to their hopes of avoiding relegation in May.
Last November's victory at Stadio Dal'Ara saw Dan Ndoye score a brace for Bologna, and the Swiss winger found the net again in their emphatic win in the most recent round of matches.
Bologna delivered a spectacular second-half performance to thrash Lazio – a direct rival in the top four race – 5-0. Besides Ndoye, four other players also scored.
In 2025 alone, Bologna scored 24 goals in Serie A – at least four more than any other team. This attacking prowess has revived their dream of returning to the Champions League.
After being eliminated in the group stage this season, the Emilia-based team is determined to secure a spot in Europe's most prestigious tournament next season, and they are currently on the right track.
While many big teams have underperformed, Vincenzo Italiano's side has risen to fourth place in the standings, with a streak of four consecutive wins – the first time they've achieved this in a year.
Not only do Bologna have the opportunity to finish in the top 5 of Serie A for two consecutive seasons – something that hasn't happened since the golden age of the mid-1960s – but they also have the chance to end the season in a memorable way.
With the Coppa Italia semi-final against struggling Empoli coming up next month, Felsinei fans have every right to expect a successful season in terms of both results and titles.
