Bologna vs Milan Prediction 23.10.2024 | Serie A

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 25.10.2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna)

It’s common for teams that overachieve one season to struggle the next. Bologna is a clear case of this. After winning the Champions League and having one of their best seasons ever, they’ve had a tough start this year, with just one win across both Serie A and the Champions League. While Bologna only lost once in Serie A, they have been stuck with six draws out of eight games, and their Champions League form is even worse, earning just one point from three matches.

Milan is currently 4th in Serie A and recently revived their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win over Club Brugge, following two defeats. They've had some strong performances, like the derby win over Inter, but this squad need to be more consistent. Under Fonseca, Milan tends to play an open attacking style, and their match against Brugge showed promise in terms of offensive solutions.

Bologna vs Milan Pick: Draw

Despite sitting 12th in the table with only one win from eight games, Bologna is proving to be a tough team to beat, especially on home turf. They've drawn all four home matches this season, showing resilience even against top Italian and European clubs. This makes it difficult for opponents to secure three points in Bologna.

When looking at head-to-head encounters with Milan, recent history favors a close contest, with three of their last five meetings ending in draws. Given Bologna’s solid defense at home and Milan’s inconsistency, a low-scoring game is expected, and a draw looks like a realistic outcome. A small bet on a draw could be a smart option for this fixture.
