AC Milan vs Bologna: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 15, 2025

On Sunday, AC Milan will host Bologna at San Siro in one of the notable matches of Serie A’s third round. Here’s a preview of what to expect from this matchup, including some betting insights.

Match Preview

After a shaky start to the season, Massimiliano Allegri’s team returned to form with a solid win against Lecce, securing a clean sheet. They are showing a strong defensive strategy, often keeping low-scoring games.

At their home ground, Milan rarely loses but tends to draw matches. Their attack is pragmatic; in seven of their last nine home games, they scored either one or two goals.

Bologna, managed by Vincenzo Italiano, managed to end their losing streak by defeating Como, but they still struggle to score. They have only netted more than one goal in one of their last eleven matches.

On the road, Bologna has had trouble, winning only two of their last ten away games. Their lack of consistent performance and depth in attack contributes to their difficulties in gaining points away from home.

Probable Lineups

• Milan: Maignan, Gabbia, Tomori, Pavlovic, Estupiñán, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Modric, Musah, Jiménez, Saelemaekers
• Bologna: Skorupski, Džorțea, Heggheim, Vitik, Lykogiannis, Orsolini, Freuler, Fabbian, Moro, Cambiaghi, Castro

Match Facts and Head-to-Head

• Milan has won 7 of their last 9 home matches against Bologna in Serie A.
• Bologna has not won in 9 of their last 11 away Serie A matches.
• In 6 of the last 8 meetings between the two teams, there have been no more than three goals scored.

Prediction

Milan is typically strong at home, and given Bologna’s ongoing scoring problems, they are favored to maintain their winning streak. However, a high-scoring game is unlikely, as both teams prefer a cautious approach in their attacks. A good betting option is ‘Milan not to lose and total under 3.5 goals’ at odds of 1.76.
