Bologna vs Ac Milan: preview, free tips and statistics
22.10.2021 08:00
In the ninth round of the top Italian competition, the Italian vice-champion will face the team from the Italian city of spaghetti - Bologna.
Basic information, news and team form
Bologna finished the twelfth last season with 41 points, comfortably avoiding the relegation places. This season, Bologna has been performing erratically. In the first match of the season in the Italian Cup, they crashed out in the first round against the provincial club from Ternana after a 4-5 defeat. In the next three games, Bologna managed two wins against newcomer Salernitano and Verona and a draw on the hot ground of the team from Bergamo. After these better performances, however, came a 6-1 drubbing by Inter at San Siro. Bologna is now in eighth place with 12 points after eight rounds played, but they will have to improve their performances considerably if they want to prevent Ac Milan from taking home points. Ac Milan's Italian players visited Porto's Champions League stadium during the week with the expectation of securing their first points in the group stage table. However, fate was not in their favour and Milan were defeated 1-0 by Porto after a 65th-minute goal from Diaz and still have 0 points in the Champions League table. Although the Milan club is plagued by a strong youth squad, several capable players came in over the summer to expand the squad, and the team was expected to perform much better in the millionaire competition despite significant injuries. The Rossoneri can at least take comfort in their position and performance in the Italian Serie A. Last season they missed out on the title in the last few rounds, but now after eight rounds played they have 22 points and only one draw and no losses. Napoli, the surprise of the season with 24 points, are only two points better off in first place. Milan is expected to win again and add another three points to the table in the hunt for the Italian league championship.
Betdoin's view of the match
Ac Milan goes into this duel as odds-on favourites at 2.17. A draw is priced at 3.60, and if you want to back the home side to win, that is available at the bookmakers at 3.45. The goal line for this match is written at over 2,5. Our clever Betodin algorithm sees value for this match in a bet on the visitors to draw, for example. The visitors may have lost another Champions League match during the week, but their target for this season is undoubtedly an assault on the Scudetto. Therefore, odds of over 1.5 are still of value in this match.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
Bologna have midfielder Jerdy Schouten returning from injury. Furthermore, former Verona player Nicolas Viola has joined Bologna as a free agent and should already be available. Ac Milan has a huge squad-missing - Brahim Diaz, Hernandez, Mike Maignan, Alessandro Florenzi and Junior Messias coach Pioli can at least be pleased with the return of the sidelined Franck Kessie.
Bologna - estimated line-up:
Skorupski; Soumaoro, Medel, Theate - Silvestri, Dominguez, Svanberg, Hickey - Soriano, Barrow - Arnautovic
Ac Milan - estimated line-up:
Tatarusanu - Calabria, Tomori, Romagnoli, Ballo-Toure - Bennacer, Kessie - Saelemaekers, Krunic, Leao - Giroud
