AC Milan are just seven points adrift of leaders Juventus in the Serie A title race, and as the battle for the Scudetto heats up, they can be backed to earn another high-scoring win on Saturday.

AC Milan's form in front of goal has been impressive so far, with the Rossoneri's league assignments averaging 3.08 goals per game.

Their 3-2 win at Udinese last weekend made it 16 points from the previous 18 available, and they have won five successive home games, while seven of their last eight Serie A outings have featured at least three goals.

Visitors Bologna have only taken one point from their last three league fixtures and have conceded nine times in their previous five away games, losing three of those. With at least three goals being scored in four of these, back another goal-fest in Milan.
