Prediction: Bologna - AC Milan, Serie A

Details:

Milan lost 3-0 to Atalanta last time out but they should have enough to bounce back against a Bologna side that have only won once in their last 10 Serie A games. Milan are also unbeaten in their last 16 away games in Serie A and have won 10 of the last 11.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not suspended after his red card last time, as it was in the Italian Cup Coppa Italia. Unlike in England, Italy does not have the system that means that the suspension follows the competition limit. Positive for the team, positive for Zlatan Ibrahimovic himself.

In other words, he is expected to start at the front, while it now looks like Mario Mandzukic may be ready for play again. There may not be a start, but it is a savings capital to have if Bologna proves difficult to beat. Ante Rebic is also ready for play again and is expected to take a place in the starting eleven. However, AC Milan lacks Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia and Brahim Diaz from the start. Hakan Calhanoglu will not play either and it is a loss.

In the home team there. Federico Santander, Gary Medel and Ibrahima Mbaye on the injury list. It remains to be seen if Mattias Svanberg can start, but the Swede should reasonably get playing time in this match as well. He is rumored not least to AC Milan for next season. After a worse trend at the end, I think AC Milan want to come to life again here.

Bologna have scored in 8 of 9 home league games (89%) and score average of 1.89 goals per home league game this season. 6 of Bologna's 9 home league games have seen 3 or more goals (67%). AC Milan have scored in 9 of 9 away league games (100%) and score average of 2.11 goals per away league game this season. So 1-2 for Milan should be good enough for a new win today.
