The Rossoblu have strong momentum domestically with three consecutive victories capping off their nine-round unbeaten run.

The same is not true in the Europa League, as after the narrow defeat to Aston Villa, they beat Steaua Bucharest away, and were held to disappointing draws by Freiburg and SK Brann.

The latter had them down to 10 men for over an hour, so Charalampos Lykogiannis is therefore suspended here, with Ciro Immobile, Lukasz Skorupski, Jonathan Rowe, Remo Freuler and Nicolò Cambiaghi all injured.

Dallinga and Bernardeschi are chosen to lead the attack with Riccardo Orsolini.

RB Salzburg lost their first three Europa League games of the season against FC Porto, Olympique Lyonnais and Ferencvaros, but then defeated Go Ahead Eagles 2-0.

They are also stuttering domestically, managing only one point from the last two matches, yet still sitting top of the Austrian Bundesliga table.

Their absentee list includes Lucas Gourna-Douath, Karim Onisiwo, Takumu Kawamura, Justin Omoregie, Christian Zawieschitzky, John Mellberg and long-term injury case Karim Konaté.

Familiar faces include ex-Fiorentina defender Aleksa Terzic and former Roma midfielder Gourna-Douath.

Yorbe Vertessen is one to watch after scoring in his last two Europa League appearances.
