Milan
In the 35th round of Serie A, AC Milan secured a 2-1 away victory against Genoa. The first half saw both teams engaged in a tactical battle with no real chances. After the break, the "Grifoni" took the lead through Vitinha's effort in the 61st minute. However, fifteen minutes later, Rafael Leão leveled the score (76'), and just a minute after that, a Friendrup own goal handed the visitors the win. Head coach Sérgio Conceição remarked in the post-match press conference, "The players responded well, which shows we have a team that believes in what we're doing."
Speaking about squad availability, the "Rossoneri" will be without Rafael Leão as the key forward serves a suspension and is certain to miss the game. Additionally, three players-Riccardo Sottil, Tammy Abraham, and Warren Bondo-are dealing with physical issues, leaving their participation in doubt.
Bologna
In their last outing, Bologna hosted Juventus and the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Kephren Thuram put the visitors ahead in the 9th minute, but Remo Freuler equalized in the 54th minute of the second half. The "Rossoblù" face a packed end to the season: first, an away game against AC Milan in Serie A, then the Coppa Italia final against the same opponent, followed by clashes with Fiorentina and Genoa. According to Vincenzo Italiano, the priority right now is the league: the team is focused on the Serie A clash and is determined to earn points in Milan, with their attention shifting to the cup final only after this game.
As for the lineup, Bologna will have to manage without Dan Ndoye-the forward is sidelined until the end of May with a thigh injury. Also absent are Emil Holm (foot injury) and Estanis Pedrola (tendon issues), although the latter may recover in the coming days.
⚽️Goal Prediction
AC Milan are on an impressive run, winning 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring at least two goals in each victory. Even Inter's defense, one of the best in the league, couldn't hold them back as the derby ended with a commanding 3-0 win for the Rossoneri. Bologna are also playing confidently and remain in contention for a Champions League spot. Both teams are in good form and motivated for a result, so our editorial team predicts both teams to score.
🚩Corner Prediction
AC Milan rank among Serie A's leaders in corners, averaging 5.9 per match, placing them third in the league. Bologna, despite a more balanced style, are also active in attack, earning an average of 4.9 corners per game, ranking sixth in this category. Both teams enjoy playing down the flanks and creating pressure around the opponent's goal, suggesting the upcoming match will be rich in set pieces. Considering this activity, we predict over 9.5 total corners.
Editor's Prediction
Bologna's trips to the San Siro rarely yield high scores for the visitors. In their last 14 visits to face AC Milan, Bologna have failed to score more than one goal on 13 occasions. This trend continues this season, with Bologna unable to surpass two goals in their last six matches. Given Milan's solid defense and Bologna's struggling attack, betting on Bologna's individual total under 1.5 goals appears to be a well-founded prediction.
