Milan Looks To Maintain Winning Streak Against Bologna

AC Milan is gearing up for their clash against Bologna tonight as they seek to extend their winning streak in the Serie A. The Rossoneri have had a fantastic run of form with four consecutive victories and are determined to solidify their position in third place.

However, Milan will be missing some key players in this match. Ismael Bennacer is not fully fit, and Samuel Chukwueze is still competing in the Africa Cup of Nations. Additionally, Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu, Mattia Caldara, and Tommaso Pobega are all sidelined due to injuries.

Despite these absences, Milan will rely on the talented Yacine Adli to orchestrate their midfield alongside Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, and Olivier Giroud. The attacking force will be further bolstered by the return of Joshua Zirkzee and Giovanni Fabbian.

The match is set to take place at San Siro, and kickoff is scheduled for 19:45 GMT. Fans can follow the excitement of the game through live updates on the club’s official blog.

Milan’s opponents, Bologna, had previously occupied a fourth-place spot in the league but have slipped down to eighth due to a recent dip in form. Stefan Posch will be unavailable due to suspension, and Oussama El Azzouzi is away on international duty. Furthermore, Dan Ndoye, Adama Soumaoro, and Sydney van Hooijdonk are nursing injuries.

A notable development for Milan is the return of Joshua Zirkzee to the lineup. The talented striker had served a suspension in the team’s previous defeat.

To support Zirkzee, Bologna’s attack will be led by Giovanni Fabbian and Kacper Urbanski. However, former Milan winger Alexis Saelemaekers may not feature due to ongoing fitness concerns.

Milans’s predicted lineup for the match includes Maignan in goal, Calabria, Kjaer, Gabbia, and Theo Hernandez forming the defense, with Reijnders and Adli controlling the midfield. Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao, and Giroud are expected to spearhead the attack. On the other hand, Bologna is set to field Skorupski as their goalkeeper, supported by De Silvestri, Beukema, Calafiori, and Kristiansen in defense. Ferguson, Freuler, and Aebischer will provide midfield support, while Fabbian, Zirkzee, and Urbanski take charge of the attack.
