Bologna vs AC Milan Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Considered among the contenders for Europe this season, Bologna has not met expectations so far. The Rossoblu are currently 8th in Serie A and concede a significant outlay of 10 points on 6th place. Having been slow for some time now, they have only won one of their last 10 league matches, for 3 draws and 6 defeats. Winner at the bottom, Hellas Verona 2-3, Bologna then lost against Fiorentina 1-2 and Genoa last weekend 3-2. Disappointing in the previous year, AC Milan is once again playing the leading role under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri this season.

The Lombard team has only conceded one setback since the start of the championship. It took place against Cremonese on the first day! The Rossoneri today occupy 2nd place in Serie A with 5 points behind the leader and 5 ahead of 5th place, not qualifying for the next Champions League. After dominating Como 1-3 and Lecce 1-0, they took a point at Roma last weekend 1-1. Deprived of the European Cup and eliminated from the Italian Cup, AC Milan is exclusively focused on Serie A. 

Both teams come into this match with clear tactical identities shaped by recent performances. Bologna’s spirited comeback win over Milan last season under Vincenzo Italiano showcased their capacity to play with intensity and resilience, traits they will need to rediscover if they hope to challenge a Milan side that has shown defensive solidity in several key matches. Milan, under Allegri, have blended experienced leadership with new signings, and their ability to control tempo has been evident in their narrow but efficient victories. The contrast in form between the sides adds intrigue, as Bologna’s unpredictable nature meets Milan’s structured approach.

With all these elements converging, the match promises a compelling tactical battle shaped by recent form, squad developments, and the psychological weight of past meetings. Bologna will aim to exploit any lapses, while Milan will look to assert their superior momentum and maintain pressure near the top of the table. Considering the balance of quality, recent performances, and Milan’s strong away record, the most reasonable expectation points toward a narrow Rossoneri victory. The predicted correct score for this encounter is 1:2.
