AC Milan take on the visitors Bologna in the round 22 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, January 27th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Milan are doing well, but it seems that they are achieving success in only one direction. For example, in the last cycle, their return to the Champions League resulted in finishing last in the group, but they managed to clinch the Scudetto in the spring. In the 2022/2023 season, they couldn't come close to defending it - on the contrary, they only managed to finish in the top 4 due to Juventus' penalty. They failed to achieve their goal on the international stage this time. The Italians disappointingly finished third in their group, narrowly losing to PSG on additional metrics. However, they left Newcastle behind and secured third place under Stefano Pioli's guidance, heading to the Europa League, where they are considered favorites. Similarly, the red and blacks look controversial but decent at home. They were eliminated from the cup after losing at home to Atalanta. However, in the league, they confidently hold 3rd place - only Juventus and neighboring Inter are ahead of them. They managed to overpower Udinese, although in the final moments, a 1-2 turned into a 3-2.

Bologna experienced a decline in winter. The Red and Blues are considered not the most famous but a popular enough team, a solid mid-table team. They remained so under Mihajlovic. However, Sinisa was removed at the beginning of last season, which raised many questions and objections, as the Serbian's courageous battle with cancer inspired many. But under his successor, they managed to improve last season. And in the current one, they even managed to climb into the top quartet of Serie A leaders, simultaneously knocking out Inter in the cup - in extra time in an away match, in Milan. It's no wonder that the Italian Brazilian is attracting considerable interest from the big clubs - there are even reports that Barcelona wants him to replace Xavi. But first, it needs to be understood whether the coach can lift the team out of the current slump. Before the New Year, unexpectedly, after a 1-0 win against Atalanta, they suffered defeats against Udinese and Cagliari, with a draw at home against Genoa in Serie A and elimination from the cup on penalties against Fiorentina after a 0-0 draw in regular time. But after a 1-2 loss to the Islanders, there was an almost 2-week break, after January 14th - we'll see how the coaching staff has managed this.
In the last 4 matches, half ended in draws. Although overall, Milan have the advantage, including a 2-0 victory at Renato Dall'Ara in August. The visitors have lost form, while the hosts, on the contrary, are on the move. Here we bet on the victory of the red and blacks.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win.
