Bologna continue their Europa League exploits on Thursday night at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara against Brann from Norway.
Vincenzo Italiano's men have improved throughout the competition. After starting their European campaign with a 1-0 road loss to Aston Villa, Bologna have drawn 1-1 at home with Freiburg and beaten FCSB in another road contest 2-1.
The two most recent Europa League results are part of Bologna's eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions. They are currently fifth in Serie A, only three points off the top four. The team struggles defensively, but an attack led by Riccardo Orsolini makes Bologna a tough nut to crack for any opposition.
Brann are sitting third in the Norwegian Eliteserien and have impressed in their first few European outings this season. While the campaign started with a 2-1 road loss at Lille, Freyr Alexandersson's team has a chance to record a third consecutive Europa League victory on Thursday night.
A Saevar Atli Magnusson strike secured Brann a 1-0 home win against Utrecht, and Brann ran riot against Rangers in their last Europa League match, winning 3-0 on home turf. These two results have pushed Brann to the top eight in the Europa League, while Bologna are currently in 18th place.

Our Bologna vs SK Brann Prediction
Brann has performed well in Europe this season, but they are heading to Italy as heavy underdogs. Bologna have started to established themselves among the Serie A elite and are expected to dominate against a team that is struggling to secure a top-three finish in Norway.
However, Brann have proven themselves as a stubborn side and could still put up a good fight on Thursday. Bologna have looked full of goals lately, but they often struggle to pick up clean sheets, which could result in a high-scoring affair at the Renato Dall'Ara.
Our prediction for Bologna vs. Brann: Bologna win and over 2.5 goals.
