Milan welcome Bologna to San Siro sitting fourth in the table, just three points behind league leaders Inter. Ruben Amorim’s side have won three of their last five matches and look sharp heading into this fixture. Bologna arrive in 13th place, a club that has struggled for consistency this season despite picking up a tidy away win over Cagliari last time out.
The interesting wrinkle here is scoring volume. Milan have fired 10 goals across their last five matches, double what Bologna managed in the same span. That gap in attacking output, paired with Bologna’s modest defensive record this campaign, shapes most of our thinking below.
Keep an eye on Christian Pulisic, who has been directly involved in attacking play for Milan all season and offers pace in behind Bologna’s back three. On the other side, Nicolo Cambiaghi has two assists in his last three outings and remains Bologna’s main outlet when they break forward quickly.
Hot stat: Milan have attempted 59 shots across their last five matches compared to Bologna’s 30, almost double the output, a gap that points toward a busy night for the Bologna backline at San Siro.

Milan vs Bologna prediction
We predict Milan to win and the match to go over 2.5 goals. Milan have scored in bunches lately and Bologna’s away record this season, including a goal difference problem league-wide, suggests they will struggle to contain the hosts for 90 minutes. Perhaps the only question is by how many Milan end up winning, not whether they win at all.
Style-wise, Milan have picked up 11 yellow cards across their last five matches against Bologna’s 7, a sign the hosts play with more intensity and press higher up the pitch. Milan’s pass accuracy sits around 88 percent over that stretch compared to roughly 82 percent for Bologna, which usually translates into more sustained spells of pressure and more set-piece opportunities. Milan have also won 17 corners in that span against Bologna’s 11, a detail worth folding into any corner market bet.

Team Analysis
Milan’s last outing ended in a comfortable 2-0 win away at Udinese, a result that followed a difficult 0-3 defeat to Bournemouth in continental play. The bounce back showed Amorim’s side can reset quickly after a poor result, and the Udinese win continued a pattern of Milan being sharp at the top end of the pitch regardless of opponent quality. In our preview of Udinese vs Milan we backed a comfortable two-goal win for the Rossoneri, and the 2-0 scoreline landed exactly on that mark.
Bologna head into this one off the back of a 2-0 win at Cagliari, a result that snapped a run of patchy away form. Before that they lost 1-3 at home to Inter, a reminder that their defense still leaks goals against sides who press with real intensity, something Milan are more than capable of doing at San Siro. In our preview of Cagliari vs Bologna we leaned toward a home win for Cagliari, and Bologna’s 2-0 away win went against that call.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Milan the favourite
- Moneyline Milan 1.62 | Bologna 5.26
- Draw 4.03
Bookmakers rate Milan at roughly 59 percent to win this one, with the draw sitting around 23 percent and Bologna trailing at 18 percent. Those numbers line up with the underlying form, Milan carry home advantage, a better recent record, and a clear edge in attacking output. We see little value backing Bologna outright here, though the draw at over 4.00 could appeal to anyone looking for a saver bet given Bologna’s tendency to grind out results against bigger clubs in recent seasons.
Possible Starting Lineups
Milan possible starting eleven
- GK: Mike Maignan
- DF: Fikayo Tomori, Strahinja Pavlovic, Koni De Winter
- MF: Davide Bartesaghi, Luka Modrić, Ardon Jashari, Pervis Estupinan
- FW: Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Gonçalo Ramos
Amorim should stick with the 3-4-2-1 shape that has brought good results lately. Pavlovic and De Winter have barely missed a minute at the back, while Modrić and Jashari continue to control tempo through the middle. Rabiot’s four goal contributions in his last four matches make him the player to watch just behind Ramos up top.
Bologna possible starting eleven
- GK: Łukasz Skorupski
- DF: Nicolo Casale, Martin Vitik, Torbjørn Heggem
- MF: Matteo Darmian, Lewis Ferguson, Nadir Zortea, Juan Miranda
- FW: Nicolo Cambiaghi, Federico Bernardeschi, Artem Dovbyk
Palladino tends to mirror Milan’s 3-4-2-1 setup, with Darmian and Miranda pushing on from wing-back positions to support Cambiaghi and Bernardeschi. Dovbyk leads the line but has struggled for minutes recently, which could limit his sharpness against a settled Milan back three.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Milan to win this one comfortably, likely by two clear goals, with the attacking numbers from recent matches pointing strongly in that direction. Bologna have shown they can beat weaker sides away from home, their win at Cagliari proves that, but San Siro against a Milan side averaging two goals a game is a different proposition entirely. To be hones, the only scenario giving us pause is Milan rotating heavily with European football around the corner, though the current top-four race should keep Amorim’s selection sharp. Back Milan to win and over 2.5 goals, with BTTS No as the value lean given Bologna’s recent scoring struggles on the road.
