Bologna Team News
Bologna finished last season of the Italian championship in ninth place with 54 points from 38 played rounds, which is nine points less than the position that secured European appearances.
Thiago Motta’s team participated in a relatively modest number of matches during the preseason. They played four friendly matches, securing only one victory against Utrecht, with two losses to Monaco and AZ Alkmaar, and a draw against Palermo.
Bologna enters the new Serie A season after a triumph in the Italian Cup against Cesena with a score of 2-0. However, what might concern the club’s coaching staff ahead of the next match is their very poor record in head-to-head clashes with Milan over the past several years. Namely, Bologna hasn’t managed to defeat the Rossoneri in the last 15 matches across all competitions.
AC Milan Team News
The past season can be considered relatively successful for Milan. While they didn’t defend their title, they managed to reach the Champions League semi-finals, where they were eliminated by their city rival Inter with an aggregate score of 3-0.
In Serie A, Stefan Pioli’s team secured the fourth position with 70 points from 38 matches played, earning them a spot in the most prestigious European football competition for the upcoming season.
Regarding the preparatory matches, Milan played a total of eight, with different outcomes. They achieved four victories but also suffered an equal number of defeats.
The primary goal in the new season, understandably, is to win the Scudetto. Whether the Rossoneri will succeed in that endeavor will largely depend on how the Italian giants kick off the new competitive year, making their next away match in Bologna even more interesting.

Bologna vs AC Milan Prediction
Bologna hasn’t defeated Milan at this stadium since March 2002, which is quite a poor tradition for Thiago Motta’s team. However, in five out of the last six matches at Renato Dall’Ara, the home team managed to find the net against the Rossoneri. Milan is the favorite, and our suggestion for this match is that both teams will score a goal.
