AC Milan vs Bologna

AC Milan welcome Bologna to the San Siro for an Italian Serie A fixture, with both teams looking to build on wins prior to the international break.

The Rossoneri will be hoping for a push from the home fans as they seek their first league win at San Siro. They should get the better of the visitors, who often find things difficult on their travels.

AC Milan News

AC Milan got off the mark prior to the international break, picking up a 2-0 victory at Lecce in their previous Serie A fixture. Both goals came after the break, with efforts from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic earning them all three points.

That was the second win in three matches across all competitions for AC Milan, who also claimed a 2-0 home victory over Bari in the Coppa Italia first round. The Rossoneri are generally solid at San Siro and have won three of their last four home matches across all competitions.

One area that needs attention for AC Milan is their defence, having failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last eight matches across all competitions. However, Massimiliano Allegri's team have scored in all three of their matches this season, while five of their last seven Serie A home fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Bologna News

Bologna are also coming off a victory as they edged out Como 1-0 last time out in Serie A. Following a drab first half, Riccardo Orsolini struck what turned out to be the winner after the break.

Having begun the season with a 1-0 defeat at Roma in their opening fixture, manager Vincenzo Italiano will be pleased to be off the mark for the season. However, that result in Rome is part of a poor record on their travels, having failed to win their last five Serie A away matches, losing four times on this run.

Like the hosts, Bologna also struggle at the back, failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions, with six of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

AC Milan have seven wins and three draws, while Bologna have picked up just two wins in the last 12 matches. The hosts claimed a 3-1 home victory in the last Serie A meeting, while the visitors edged out a 1-0 win in the Coppa Italia final last season.

Verdict

AC Milan v Bologna

There are often goals in this fixture, and both teams have scored in three of their last four meetings. With all three fixtures on this run also producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could be considered here.

AC Milan have a solid record at San Siro and are also unbeaten in the last four home matches against Bologna. With the visitors struggling on their travels lately, the Rossoneri are expected to claim the upper hand on Sunday.
