AC Milan Faces Bologna in Key Serie A Clash on Friday

MILAN, Italy — AC Milan will host Bologna on Friday, May 9, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in a critical Serie A match for both teams. With the season nearing its end, each club is seeking to secure points in the race for a top-four finish.

Currently, AC Milan sits in ninth place with 57 points, needing to maximize their scoring opportunities to stay competitive. Bologna, however, is just one point shy of the teams ahead of them, and a win could propel them into the fourth spot in the standings. While not a must-win for Bologna, gaining maximum points would be beneficial.

Christian Pulisic, who was held scoreless in Milan’s last match, aims to bounce back in this fixture. Pulisic has scored 10 goals and provided eight assists in 26 starts this season, showing his capability to impact games.

Potential lineups for the match include AC Milan’s Mike Maignan as goalkeeper, supported by defenders Tomori, Gabbia, and Pavlovic. In midfield, Jimenez, Loftus-Cheek, and Reijnders will play, with Pulisic and Jovic in the attack. Bologna’s starting lineup is expected to feature Skorupski in goal and a backline of Calabria, Beukema, Lucumi, and Miranda. The midfield will include Freuler and Ferguson, while Dallinga leads the attack.

This Serie A clash promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams strive to shape their fortunes for the remainder of the season. Fans are encouraged to tune in to watch the action live.
