The lowdown on Napoli v Bologna in the Supercoppa Italiana 🇮🇹 | OneFootball

The Supercoppa Italiana mini-tournament concludes on Monday night in Saudi Arabia with the final between Napoli and Bologna.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the first piece of silverware of the season being handed out in Italy.

Where and when is the game?

The Supercoppa Italiana final begins at 22:00 local time (20:00 CET) at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh on Monday, December 22.

The same stadium played host to each semi-final and in the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the contest will be decided by a penalty shootout with no extra-time.

How did the teams qualify?

It is perhaps fitting that both Milan clubs were swatted aside in the semi-finals and this is the final we are treated to as it carries with it a sense of tradition.

The fixture will see the Scudetto holders Napoli take on the Coppa Italia winners Bologna after their respective victories.

David Neres and Rasmus Højlund scored in each half as the Partenopei comfortably defeated Milan 2-0, while Bologna fought back from an early deficit to take Inter to penalties where they triumphed 3-2 on spot-kicks.

One player to watch from each team

Rasmus Højlund (Napoli)

The Dane was the star man in the semi-final victory over Milan and popped up with the vital clinching goal that sealed his side's place in Monday night's showdown.

He'll lead the line again as he looks to pick up his first winner's medal since swapping Manchester United for Campania on loan during the summer.

Federico Ravaglia (Bologna)

The 26-year-old is accustomed to playing second fiddle to Łukasz Skorupski between the posts for the Felsinei but has made the most of his opportunities recently.

He made an outstanding semi-final save from a ferocious Federico Dimarco volley then went on to make two stops in the penalty shootout to send his side to the final, where he'll have to be at his best again if they are to end the year with a trophy.
