Bologna will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 23 points behind Milan.
- Bologna have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Milan has the most clean sheets (7) in Serie A
The visiting Milan played their last game only four days ago, a Coppa Italia match. That game, against Inter, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Milan.
Bologna form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Bologna have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games.
The fans are hoping that Bologna will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Serie A game against Juventus (placed 5th). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Hellas Verona.
Łukasz Skorupski had a busy but productive day in the Juventus match. Despite making nine saves the loss could not be prevented.
A decent goal production from Bologna in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 9 league matches. Bologna have conceded 17 from these games.
Milan form and stats
The strength of Milan, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Serie A, on their travels this season is incredible with 25 points collected from 9 Serie A away games. Milan has 8-1-0 on the road, with 19 goals scored and 7 conceded. Having won their last three away games Milan has no reason to fear anyone.
There might be some fixture complaints from Milan as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Coppa Italia match against Inter (1-2). The game before that, in the Serie A, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Atalanta.
It's a bit worrying for Milan that their goalkeeper Ciprian Tătărușanu made eight saves in the Inter game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss. Late heartbreak for Milan in the Inter match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
The Milan manager S. Pioli has got the team scoring on the road, with 19 away goals in 9 league matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Milan - Bologna 2-0. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Bologna zero wins, one draw and Milan nine victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
