Bologna's historic venture into the Champions League for the first time hasn't gone to plan as of yet as they are yet to record a victory in the competition.

On Tuesday, they face a Monaco side that have started strongly with two victories and a draw.

Match Preview

Bologna Recent Form

Bologna's recent form has been mixed as they have won two, drawn two and lost one out of their last five.

Those two victories have actually came in the last two games as they've beat Cagliari and Lecce.

In the Champions League, they have drawn against Shakhtar and lost versus Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Bologna Injury News

Charalampos Lykogiannis, Oussama El Azzouzi, Martin Erlic and Michel Aebischer are out for Bologna, but they enjoyed a huge return at the weekend as captain Lewis Ferguson completed his recovery from an ACL injury to make a substitute appearance versus Lecce.

Last Bologna Lineup

Here's how Bologna lined up against Lecce.

Monaco Recent Form

Monaco have been impressive in the Champions League as they began their campaign with a 2-1 home victory against Barcelona, while they beat Crvena Zvezda 5-1 last time out. The 2-2 draw against Dinamo Zagreb was a disappointment, however.

They are coming off two straight Ligue 1 defeats to Nice and Angers.

Monaco Injury News

Folarin Balogun and Mohammed Salisu are out due to injury for Monaco, though Jordan Teze and Vanderson are available again due to suspension.

Denis Zakaria is a major doubt after missing the last two games with an abductor problem.

Last Monaco Lineup

Here's how Monaco lined up against Angers.

Bologna - Player To Watch

Bologna simply haven't looked as good without Lewis Ferguson and his return will provide a huge boost to the squad. He might not start this one, but we'll definitely see him at some point.

Monaco - Player To Watch

Maghnes Akliouche has two goals and an assist in three Champions League games so far this season.
