AC Milan are in pole position for the Serie A title and will be hoping to boost their charge when they host Bologna in their next game. Going into this game, Milan are top of the standings with 66 points and Bologna are 12th on 33 points. Milan have a chance to open up a six point gap here and having done well in their recent matches, they will be outright favourites. Four straight clean sheets and three straight wins will give them the confidence they need here. Coming from the international break, manager Stefano Pioli can hope for two things; that all his players are in good health and that they can carry on with their form before the break. In their last game before the break, Milan claimed a 1-0 win over Cagliari, the fifth straight game they failed to hit more than a goal. Seven of their last 10 matches have produced under 2.5 goals and they’ve conceded more than a goal in just one of their last 10 matches. This trend is consistent at home, where in the last five league matches, they haven’t scored more than a goal.

Bologna will hope the international break gave the players some good rest and eye a return to winning ways after two straight losses. They have no win in the last four matches and the fact that they’ve lost in each of their last six matches against Milan makes it worse. In the last 12 matches against Milan, Bologna have only avoided defeat once, but they haven’t beaten Milan in that run. In their last three matches before the international break, Bologna failed to score a goal and in their last five matches, they’ve managed two goals in just one game. Their last four games have produced under 2.5 goals and a run of five winless matches away from home places them as underdogs here. Fro0m a possible 15 points in their last five away league matches, Bologna have secured just one, in a draw with bottom placed Salernitana. They have failed to score in two of their last three away league matches - against Fiorentina and Lazio.
