Head-to-head

Bologna — AC Milan

0-3

Form: Milan on a roll, Bologna building confidence

Milan come into this game with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five matches in all competitions, having scored 11 goals and conceded five. Amorim's side beat Atalanta 3-2 in Serie A, and before that won 2-0 away at Udinese, with goals from Pulisic and Hutchinson.

In the league, the Rossoneri remain unbeaten and have gone eight matches without defeat. They sit fourth with 18 points after eight rounds, four points behind leaders Inter.

Bologna won 2-0 at Cagliari, their first league clean sheet of the season. That followed a home loss to Inter. Palladino's side are 13th and have struggled for goals, managing only eight in eight league games.

Head-to-head: San Siro has been Milan's territory

The historical record leans clearly towards Milan. They have lost just one of their last 21 Serie A meetings with Bologna, winning 16 and drawing four.

The most recent meeting was on 3 February 2026, when Milan won 3-0 away at Bologna. Last season, Milan edged the corresponding fixture 1-0, a reminder that these games can be tight.

Team news: heavy absences on both sides

Milan are badly hit. Chukwueze, Gabbia, Saelemaekers, Terracciano and Loftus-Cheek are out, Rabiot is not expected for this game, and Gila and Moreira are doubts. Amorim will have to rebuild his midfield, with Musah and Jashari as the double pivot and Pulisic and Hutchinson providing width and threat.

Bologna are missing Holm, Orsolini and Piccoli. Enem is due a late check but is not expected to start. Palladino is likely to line up in a 3-4-3 with Odgaard leading the line, supported by Bernardeschi and Mbangula.

What to expect and our pick

We expect Milan to control the game with the ball, although the squad is thin. Bologna will likely sit deep and look to hit on the counter, but they lack firepower up front. The match looks more like a controlled home win than a goal-fest.

Our pick is Milan to win at 1.74. It makes sense because of home advantage, their unbeaten run and their dominance in this fixture. Still, the injury list and a derby against Inter on Saturday call for measured stakes. No bet is guaranteed.

Our prediction

Milan to win is our call. They are in good form, play at home and have the upper hand historically, while Bologna have limited attacking options and key absentees. At 1.74 the price is a sensible starting point for anyone looking for value in today's betting tips. Bet responsibly.
