Bologna vs AC Milan Prediction
Bologna come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Parma at the Ennio Tardini at the weekend. The hosts have been generally difficult to beat throughout the campaign under Vincenzo Italiano with that being just their fourth loss of the 2024/25 Serie A campaign. They now face seven-time European champions AC Milan, who sit above Bologna on goal difference having failed to significantly improve following the appointment of Sergio Conceicao last month. The Rossoneri were beaten 2-1 by Torino at the weekend and have been unconvincing throughout Conceicao’s two months in charge. Siding with Bologna looks the way to go for this one and it could be good value, especially with their home advantage.
