AC Milan:
The Rossoneri won their last meeting 2-1 with Ante Rebic and Franck Kessie on target while Milan are actually unbeaten in 11 against Bologna with the hosts looking for a first win against their visitors since early 2016. The current scoring tally during this period of dominance makes for ugly reading for the Rossoblu with Milan leading 23-7.
Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao and Brahim Diaz have each scored three times this season while Pioli's men are unbeaten on the road this season and in seven away games in total. Their last loss was to Lazio back in April.
Prediction
Milan have won by tight margins of late with their last three wins all by one goal. It would not be a huge surprise to see them triumph again here by another narrow final score. Pick: Bologna 0-1 AC Milan.
