AC Milan is set to face Bologna at San Siro, with Milan looking to bounce back from a Europa League loss. Milan suffered a defeat to Bournemouth in the Europa League last Thursday but rebounded with a 2-0 win in Udine over the weekend. Bologna, under new manager Raffaele Palladino, has shown improvement after a tough start under Domenico Tedesco. Bologna's recent form has been mixed, with a draw against Torino and wins against Lecce and Cagliari.

Bologna's manager Raffaele Palladino will be without several key players for the match, including Riccardo Orsolini, Roberto Piccoli, and Emil Holm due to injuries. Jay Enem's availability will be assessed closer to the match. Bologna's predicted lineup features Skorupski in goal, with Darmian, Casale, and Theate forming the back three. Pobega and Ferguson are expected to partner in midfield, while Bernadeschi and Odgaard will lead the attack alongside Mbangula.

Bologna made significant changes in the summer transfer window, signing several new players including Mikel Amondarain, Tommaso Pobega, and Jay Enem. They also brought in winger Samuel Mbangula and centre-back Arthur Theate on loan deals. The team sold several key players, including Santiago Castro to Roma for €30m and Jhon Lucumi to Juventus for €20m. These changes were made after Vincenzo Italiano left to join Besiktas and Domenico Tedesco took over briefly before being replaced by Palladino.

Bologna are the next visitors to San Siro, as AC Milan hope to respond to last week’s Europa League loss with six points out of six. It’s been a difficult October for Milan, but they are almost at the end point. The defeat to Bournemouth in the Europa League last Thursday risked something of a collapse. Yet, a 2-0 win in Udine at the weekend has halted those fears. Now, it’s a return to San Siro, where Bologna will hope to continue their own rejuvenation.

Earlier report

Udinese are the next opponents for AC Milan, who are currently preparing for the trip to Stadio Friuli on Sunday evening. The mid-week action in the Europa League didn’t exactly give Milan more confidence, losing 3-0 to Bournemouth. On top of that, some heavy absences have been confirmed for their next game against Udinese, including Adrien Rabiot. Having said that, it’s not like Udinese have had an easy time lately either, which could make for an interesting game. ➤ Manager: Kosta Runjaic ➤ Form (all comps): L-L-L-L-L (most recent) ➤ Top scorer (Serie A): Ekkelenkamp – 3 ➤ Most assists (Serie A): Davis – 2 ➤ Injuries & suspensions: Alaba, Bayo, Gueye, Zanoli.
