AC Milan vs Bologna Preview & Predictions | 27 January 2024

Sunday evening sees league leaders AC Milan welcoming mid-table Bologna to the San Siro. Stefano Pioli's men have caught the eye with an unbeaten start to extend their advantage at the top. Meanwhile, Bologna find themselves in 11th after an inconsistent campaign to date.

AC Milan vs Bologna Preview

Milan continue to impress as they chase their first Scudetto in over a decade. They remain undefeated through 20 league games - a new club record. Star forward Rafael Leão has 5 goals in his last 5 outings and forms a lethal partnership with Olivier Giroud. The Rossoneri have also won their last 7 home games. In contrast, Bologna are without a victory in 3 and lost top scorer Marko Arnautovic to injury last time out.

Despite the visitors' plucky displays on the road, Milan have truly hit their stride both defensively and going forward. Leão's red-hot form should continue as the hosts look to extend their lead at the summit. Giroud may also aim to add to his tally of 10 goals on the season already.

Score Betting Tips

  • Milan to win: Back the league leaders at short odds of 1.50 given their imperious home form.
  • Over 2.5 goals: With Milan averaging over 3 goals per game lately, goals look sure to flow once more. Over 2.5 is priced at 1.80.
  • Leão to score: The Portugal international is in scintillating scoring touch presently and is great value at 2.00 to net.

Expected Lineups

  • AC Milan: Maignan, Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Hernandez, Bennacer, Tonali, Messias, Diaz, Leão, Giroud
  • Bologna: Skorupski, Soumaoro, Medel, Lucumí, Cambiaso, Schouten, Ferguson, Aebischer, Orsolini, Zirkzee, Barrow

In summary, while Bologna may frustrate for spells, expect Milan's on-song attacking trio to have too much quality in front of a spirited San Siro crowd. Back the Rossoneri to claim victory with Leão enhancing his fine form.
