Bologna have won only one of their last nine matches
Celtic have won their last three matches to nil
Recommended bet: Celtic or draw double chance
With two games to go in the league phase of the Europa League, Celtic have work to do to qualify for the knockout stages, and a trip to Serie A side Bologna will require maximum focus.
The Bhoys currently sit 24th in the 36-team standings, having taken only seven points from six games, and that is the cut-off point for an unseeded side in the play-offs.
Bologna, meanwhile, are 13th and have not yet given up on that elusive top-eight finish, with two wins from their final two outings likely to give them a strong chance of advancing directly to the last 16.
Since sacking Wilfried Nancy, Celtic have recorded three straight wins to nil with interim manager Martin O'Neill sparking a response in what is his second spell in charge this season.
Bologna were beaten 1-0 away at Aston Villa in their Europa League opener but they have gone five games unbeaten in Europe since and will be hoping to put some poor Serie A form behind them.

Team news
Bologna are without the services of Federico Bernadeschi until February at the earliest, while Martin Vitik and Jhon Lucumi are both injury doubts.
Giovanni Fabbian and Jonathan Rowe are both pushing for a start given Bologna's recent inconsistencies.
Celtic have Alistair Johnston, Callum Osmand, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota, Kelechi Iheanacho and Marcelo Saracchi on the treatment table.
O'Neill rang the changes for Sunday's 2-0 win away at Auchinleck Talbot in the Scottish Cup and the Bhoys should be back to full strength at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
The stats
Bologna are unbeaten in five Europa League matches, winning their last two against Salzburg and Celta Vigo.
However, the Italian side has won only one of their last nine competitive matches.
The hosts have seen both teams score in 11 of their last 14 outings.
Bologna have picked up only one point from their last five Serie A home games.
Celtic have won five of their last seven matches, recording three straight victories to nil.
The Hoops have seen both teams score in seven of their last 11 fixtures on the road.

Prediction
Celtic have been given a lift since O'Neill arrived as manager for the second time this season and three straight wins should have gone a long way to restore the confidence that had gone missing during Nancy's short reign.
The Bhoys have won 3-1 at Feyenoord and drawn 1-1 at Crvena zvezda on Europa League trips this season, so they know they are capable, and this could be a good time to head to Bologna.
The Italian side suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Fiorentina on Sunday, meaning they have taken only one point from their last five Serie A games at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, having also been beaten by Cremonese, Juventus and Atalanta.
Without a clean sheet in 14, Bologna concede plenty of chances and Celtic could capitalise with a positive result, which would significantly bolster their qualification hopes.
