Bologna Vs Milan: Match Prediction
Bologna, who started the season confidently, have sharply dropped off with the onset of winter. In their last 10 Serie A matches Vincenzo Italiano's side have beaten only struggling Verona (3 draws, 6 defeats). Even at home the club lost 4 of the previous 5 league games, picking up points only against Sassuolo. However, Bologna regularly causes problems for opponents' defenses, so the hosts will have chances even against a Milan side that is conceding a lot at the moment.
However, Milan's shaky defense does not prevent them from picking up points. Moreover, in the current league campaign Allegri's men have lost only once; even the league leader has a slightly higher figure. The team secures positive results largely thanks to its attack, which, although it has slowed down, has not lost cutting edge. Besides, the opponent, having conceded at least twice in 5 of their last 6 Serie A games, will not put Milan's attack in a stalemate.
We would add that Milan have not lost to Bologna in 19 of the last 20 head-to-head Serie A meetings. This is another factor in favor of the prediction Milan to win or draw and Over 1.5 goals.
Prediction: Milan To Win Or Draw And Over 1.5 Goals
