Bologna vs AC Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Rossoneri can move up to second place with a win here.

Bologna will return to action with a home clash against AC Milan over the weekend. The Greyhounds have failed to build upon their heroics from last season and have struggled to find their mojo big time this season. They come into this game on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League. Moreover, they have been able to manage just one win in their last 11 outings across all competitions and are placed 12th on the table.

AC Milan on the other hand have turned up the heat after a slow and supporting start to their season, but are still in search of consistency. The Rossoneri come into this game after securing their first Champions League win of the season against Club Brugge. They have won four of their last five Serie A games and will be aiming for nothing less than a win away from home.

Kick Off

Saturday, October 26, 9:30 PM IST

Venue: Renato Dall’Ara, Bologna

Form

Bologna (in all competitions): L-D-D-L-D

AC Milan (in all competitions): W-W-L-L-W

Players to watch 

Santiago Castro (Bologna)

The Argentine forward has been one of the consistent performers for Bologna this season. He has found the back of the net on three occasions and also has an assist to show for his efforts up front. He primarily operates as a centre-forward, but can also slot in as a right or left-winger as and when required. Castro will need to step up to the occasion if Bologna are to get something out of this game.

What a player btw 😮‍💨#MilanBrugge #UCL #SempreMilan pic.twitter.com/O9gVEnBBi5

Christian Pulišić (AC Milan)

Captain America has played a crucial role in Milan’s turnaround this season. Pulisic has led the Devils from the front and has dropped in crucial performances so far this season. He has 12 contributions to his name in his last 14 appearances for both club and country. The 26-year-old is known for his blistering pace, agility and technical awareness on the pitch.
