However, Bologna also have defensive vulnerabilities, which could create opportunities for the guests despite their struggles. Both sides are aware this is a must-win game to ensure European qualification.
The home team’s last victory over Milan came in 2002 (2-0). The final encounter ended 2-2. Half of the last six matches between the two parties also ended in ties.
Bologna vs Milan Betting Tip
- Pick: Rafael Leão to score
- Odds: 4 (22Bet)
Despite his struggles in front of goal, Leão remains a significant threat in the final third with his dribbling, particularly in one-on-one situations. Against a defensively fragile Bologna, he will be Milan’s primary threat from the wings.
