AC Milan vs Bologna Prediction 09.05.2025 | Serie A

• Competition: Italy - Serie A
• Date: Friday, 9th, May 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: San Siro (Milano)

Still hoping to keep Champions League qualification within reach, Bologna head to San Siro for a tough clash against AC Milan on Friday in Serie A round 36.

Despite finding their rhythm recently, with last week’s late 2-1 win over Genoa marking their third victory in four Serie A outings, the Rossoneri have clearly left it too late and will face an uphill battle to close the six-point gap to the final UEFA spot held by Lazio, especially with only three rounds remaining.

Although their stalemate with Juventus saw them drop out of the top-six bracket, Bologna are still in an excellent position to punch their Champions League ticket for a second season running, given that only one point separates them from the fourth-placed side in the standings.

As the two finalists prepare for their Coppa Italia clash midweek, they'll be aiming to generate rhythm and confidence from Friday’s league showdown, so we expect an open battle filled with attacking flair and plenty of scoring opportunities. Recently, the Rossoneri have made significant strides in the final third, having put two or more goals past their opponents in five of their last six matches across all competitions, with their demolition of city rivals Inter 3-0 in the Coppa Italia semifinal standing out in particular. Defensively, AC Milan haven’t been solid and don’t inspire much confidence, as their only clean sheet in the last 10 matches at San Siro came in a fragile 1-0 win over Verona in mid-February, so Bologna will look to exploit those weaknesses at the back while desperately aiming to keep their chase for Champions League spots alive. Although the Rossoblu have drawn blanks in their last two away outings, they’ll take heart from the fact that they’ve troubled AC Milan plenty in recent meetings, having put four past them across their last two clashes including a gritty 2-1 win in the reverse fixture, which suggests we could be in for a competitive and goal-filled showdown.
