Qualification may be just a formality after the 3-0 victory of the first leg but still the Rossoneri need to be careful and not underestimate the opponent.
Coach Gennaro Gattuso can be more than pleased with the recent performances of the squad and can allow himself to experiment a bit in the second leg of Europa League round of 32. The 3-0 result of the away match offers many players who have played little so far to demonstrate their worth tomorrow against Ludogorets.
Antonio Donnarumma will get a chance between the posts after the fine display in the derby. Many changes in defense with Zapata returning to play from the first minute replacing Bonucci alongside Romagnoli. The young Italian was expected to rest too but Musacchio has suffered a slight calf injury and the coach does not want to risk him. Ricardo Rodriguez and Abate complete the back like.
Former captain Montolivo will lead the midfield again after his start in the league against Sampdoria. Frack Kessie is again available after a one match suspension in the league and he will play alongside Manuel Locatelli. Total overhaul in attack with Andre Silva starting from the first minute with Fabio Borini on the left, author of the third goal in the firs leg. Suso will be rested while Cutrone is expected to start alongside the Portuguese because Kalinic doesn’t seem fully fit.
