The Rossoneri will look to extend their unbeaten Serie A run and maintain their perfect home record when they welcome Bologna to San Siro for an intriguing Matchday 9 encounter. With both teams showing encouraging form, can Bologna upset the Italian giants, or will Milan continue their impressive start?
AC Milan vs Bologna: Match Preview
AC Milan enter this fixture as one of four unbeaten teams in Serie A this season, having registered five wins and three draws in their opening eight matches. Their latest 2-0 victory over Udinese strengthened their position just four points behind the league leaders.
Milan’s defensive solidity has been particularly impressive, conceding only seven goals in eight matches. Their attacking consistency is equally encouraging, with at least two goals in eight of their previous 11 league fixtures.
A win over Bologna would mark Milan’s first home Serie A win in four matches since the 2021/22 campaign.
Meanwhile, Bologna are gradually rediscovering their rhythm after a difficult start. After five winless league matches, Raffaele Palladino’s side have won two of their last three, including a convincing 2-0 win over Cagliari.
Interestingly, both Bologna victories this season have come away from home, suggesting they could pose a genuine threat at San Siro.
AC Milan vs. Bologna Head-to-Head Record
History strongly favors the hosts.
- AC Milan have lost only once in their last 21 Serie A meetings with Bologna.
- The Rossoneri have recorded 16 wins and four draws during that period.
- Milan have conceded just 0.7 goals per match across those encounters.
- Bologna has struggled to break down Milan’s defense consistently.
These statistics make Milan the favorites, especially at home.
Key Players to Watch
Christian Pulisic – AC Milan
Christian Pulisic remains one of Milan’s most influential attacking players. The American international has scored 18 goals in his last 15 scoring appearances, with Milan winning all of them.
His movement, creativity and clinical finishing could prove decisive against Bologna’s defense.
Nadir Zortea – Bologna
Nadir Zortea could provide Bologna with an unexpected attacking spark. He has scored multiple goals against Milan in two Serie A matches.
With five of his previous six goals opening the scoring for his team, Zortea is a player Milan cannot afford to overlook.
AC Milan vs. Bologna Team News and Injuries
Milan face potential selection challenges, with up to seven first-team players reportedly unavailable, including leading league scorer Adrien Rabiot.
Bologna also have attacking concerns, with Riccardo Orsolini and Roberto Piccoli expected to remain sidelined.
These absences could shape both teams’ attacking approaches, although Milan still have enough quality to remain dangerous.
