Bologna will host AC Milan at the Renato Dall’Ara on Thursday in another round of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign. The home side have enjoyed a strong start to the year and are within touching distance of the continental spots as they sit eighth in the table with 41 points from 21 matches.
They, however, suffered their first defeat of 2025 in a surprise 2-0 loss to 18th place Parma on Saturday. The Rossoblu were quite clearly the dominant side at the weekend but failed to fashion any noteworthy chances to get on the scoresheet and will be keen to rectify things in front of their home fans this week.
AC Milan, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch in recent games, most notably crashing out of the UEFA Champions League last week. They were beaten 2-1 by Torino in their league game at the weekend and had looked set to be headed toward a point and perhaps a comeback win following Tijjani Reijnders second-half leveller before their opponents reclaimed their one-goal lead minutes later.
The visitors, who sit seventh in Serie A, are level on points with their midweek opponents but have a superior goal difference and will be looking to at least retain that advantage on Thursday.
