Bologna vs Milan Prediction 3 February 2026
📢 The 23rd round of Serie A will culminate with a clash between Bologna and Milan. The matchup remains enticing, though the current form of the teams differs significantly. The Rossoneri have been nearly flawless recently, maintaining a strong position in the Champions League spots. In contrast, the Rossoblu have struggled to deliver victories for their fans. However, at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna are certainly not planning to surrender points without a fight.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Bologna and Milan over recent years includes 38 matches, with the "Rossoneri" holding a clear advantage: 25 wins, 8 draws, and only 5 victories for the "Red and Blues." In the first round of this season, Milan once again edged out a narrow victory, securing a 1-0 win at home-a result that accurately reflected the match's dynamics.
Head-to-head statistics Bologna - Milan

Bologna Team Overview
🔴 Bologna remain mired in a slump that began in mid-December. Over their last 10 matches across all competitions, the team has managed just two victories, and those came against less formidable opponents - Verona (3-2) and Maccabi Tel Aviv (3-0). In the Serie A standings, the Rossoblu are stuck in ninth place with 30 points, and their gap from the European competition spots is widening with each round.
🔵 In their previous round, Bologna suffered a defeat on the road to Genoa (2-3), a team fighting to avoid relegation. The Rossoblu played an almost flawless first half and were up by two goals by the 47th minute. However, a red card in the 56th minute completely shifted the momentum - Bologna collapsed and conceded three consecutive goals. A few days later, they confidently dispatched Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League (3-0), but this victory likely brought little joy to fans and players alike: the Israeli club had a dismal tournament, earning just one point over eight matches and finishing last. It would have been surprising if the Italians had lost to them as well.

Milan Team Overview
🔴 Milan have been in noticeably better form than Bologna recently, remaining unbeaten in their last seven matches, although three of those ended in draws. In the league standings, the Rossoneri continue to hold a strong position, sitting second before the start of the 23rd round, trailing leaders Inter by just five points.
⚫ However, Milan's last game was far from their best. On January 25th, they visited Roma and barely managed to secure a point with a 1-1 draw. The Wolves dominated the match, creating chances worth nearly three goals (xG 2.47). Yet, it was the Rossoneri who struck first, capitalizing on a set-piece. It would have been highly unjust if Milan had taken the win with only five shots.

Latest news
Bologna
📣 Bologna's head coach Vincenzo Italiano highlighted the team's progress following their 3-0 victory over Maccabi: "In the last five matches, we've significantly improved compared to the period when things weren't going our way. Today's performance was mature and serious; we aimed to seize the opportunity to break into the top eight and believed in it until the very end. This victory confirms our growth and maturity - now we're ready for the playoffs."
🚫 The hosts face some minor squad issues. Łukasz Skorupski will miss out due to a red card received in the previous round, and John Lucumi's participation is in doubt due to a muscle injury.
Milan
📣 After the 1-1 draw with Roma, AC Milan's head coach Massimiliano Allegri admitted that the match was challenging: "In the first half, Roma looked better, and Maignan kept us in the game. After the break, it seemed everything was going our way, but then came the penalty. In any case, it's a good result: Milan's real goal is to finish in the top four, and beyond that, we must always aim for the maximum."
🚫 The visitors also have their share of absentees. Christian Pulisic remains doubtful due to physical discomfort, while Santiago Giménez is sidelined with an ankle injury and is expected to return to the pitch only by mid-February.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
Recent matches involving Bologna have been thrilling for neutral fans, with the team both scoring and conceding in 6 of their last 7 Serie A outings. The only exception was a match against Atalanta (0-2), where the "Rossoblu" were let down by poor finishing. Therefore, betting on both teams to score (yes) seems like a reasonable option.
🚩 Corner Predictions
In recent years, encounters between Bologna and Milan at the "Renato Dall'Ara" have rarely featured a flurry of set pieces, with the total under 9.5 corners hitting in 8 of their last 9 head-to-head meetings in Serie A. This trend is also evident in Bologna's own league games, with no more than nine corners recorded in 7 of their last 8 matches. We don't expect any exceptions in the upcoming clash.
