Tuesday, at 19:30, Bologna will receive AC Milan’s visit in a match for the 16th Serie A. The match will take place at the “Renato Dall’Ara” stadium in Bologna.
More or less deliberately, AC Milan favored premature European Cups this season, dramatically losing the qualification to “16” – the UELs following the defeat of Olympiakos (1-3). Thus, abandoning at this stage a European competition that may not have been a major goal for Gattuso’s team, the “rossoners” could finally put their hand to a seat of the UEFA Champions League to get where they are, or, at least, where it once was. In the 4th place in Serie A, AC Milan has no excuse not to catch TOP 4 now, without the pressure of European matches, in a season when the 4th, AS Roma and Lazio, strike at least as much .
On the other side, used to the middle of the hierarchy, Bologna is in a delicate situation that tends to become serious. Pippo Inzaghi’s students have accumulated only 11 points in 15 stages, standing in 18th place, without winning the championship for more than two and a half months. Indeed, the crisis persists on “Renato Dall’Ara,” and prospects are not gratifying, as AC Milan, which will focus exclusively on the internal fronts from now on, will come to decide to get all three points, and such a it would only bury Bologna in the “red zone”.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, AC Milan was forced eight times, Bologna only once, while another duel ended with a draw;
Bologna’s previous homeowner’s success in front of the “rossoners” dates back to March 2002 from a 2-0;
The last direct match took place in the last season’s return, when Milan topped the “Renato Dall’Ara” score of 2-1;
Probable teams:
Bologna (3-5-2): Skorupski, Calabresi, Danilo, Helander- Mattiello, Orsolini, Nagy, Poli, Dijks- Santander, Palacio
AC Milan (4-4-2): Donnarumma- Calabria, Abate, Zapata, Rodriguez- Castillejo, Kessie, Bakayoko, Calhanoglu-Cutrone, Higuain
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a balanced deployment of hostilities. Without going to the guests’ hand, we believe we will witness a rather dark match between the two combatants, in which the Milanese will get a positive result.
PREDICTION: AC Milan to win @ 1.91
