Bologna will be hoping to rediscover some of their early-season form after suffering two defeats in their last three matches, but they will face stiff opposition at the San Siro.

Hosts AC Milan head into this game unbeaten in six Serie A matches and have their sights set on Juventus and Inter Milan above them in the race for the Scudetto.

Team news

Samuel Chukwueze is still away on international duty for AC Milan, while Tommaso Pobega, Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Ismael Bennacer all miss out through injury for the hosts.

Joshua Zirkzee returns from suspension for Bologna but will be replaced on the naughty step by the suspended Stefan Posch. Adama Soumaoro and Dan Ndoye are both out injured.

The stats

Over 2.5 goals has landed in seven of AC Milan's last eight Serie A games, while four of Bologna's previous five Serie A away games have produced at least three goals.

Only Frosinone (68) have seen more goals scored than AC Milan (64) in their Serie A games this season, and that should bode well, as both teams have scored in six of Bologna's last seven league away games.

AC Milan have won five and drawn one of their last six Serie A games, while Bologna have taken just one point from their previous three matches.

Bologna are winless in four games under manager Thiago Motta

Prediction

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.

Publicidad

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.
