Bologna vs AC Milan Betting Tips & Predictions

A late Jeremy Menez penalty spared AC Milan’s brushes last weekend, salvaging a 3-3 draw against Frosinone when it looked like another embarrassing result was on the cards. But Milan have only won one of their last nine league games, including a home draw against Carpi and a defeat at rock bottom Verona, so it is hard to find reasons to back them in this game.

Cristian Brocchi’s side have not yet confirmed their place in next year’s Europa League and they need to find some momentum ahead of the Coppa Italia final, in which they will face Juventus later in the month. Milan sit in seventh place, a point behind Sassuolo and three points clear of Lazio.

Bologna are not quite yet mathematically safe, but they have a six-point cushion to the relegation zone, on top of a far superior goal difference compared to the teams below them. There is therefore little to play for in theory for Roberto Donadoni’s side, but the coach will want his side to finish the season on a high. Back-to-back clean sheets have followed a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Napoli, meaning the hosts come into this match in better form that Milan.

With both teams struggling for results, we turn to the goal market for this game. Bologna’s last six home games have all featured under 2.5 goals, while only two of Milan’s last eight away games have seen over 2.5 goals. Under 2.5 Goals at 5/6 with Betfair is therefore our tip for this game and we also like the 11/2 on offer for a 1-1 draw in this match.
