With a win, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team would be assured of finishing in the top eight and avoiding the playoffs in February.
In the event of a draw, much will depend on the results of the teams lower in the table.
The coach has started with limited men and no established strikers. A possible solution is a two-man attack featuring Matias Soulé and Lorenzo Pellegrini, but Wesley in the attacking midfield is not to be ruled out.
Niccolò Pisilli is expected to start again in midfield, along with either Neil El Aynaoui or Bryan Cristante.
