01.05. (Sun) 15:00 Milan - Bologna



DID YOU KNOW?

AC Milan have won three of their last four meetings against Bologna.

The league leaders have conceded only 23 goals in the 2010-11 campaign.

Massimiliano Allegri's men have scored 14 goals in their last four matches at San Siro.

Milan have yet to concede a goal from the penalty spot this term.

Bologna have conceded a league high 11 goals in the first 15 minutes of games this season.

The Rossoblu are currently riding a four-game losing streak.

Bologna have been outscored 9-1 in the last four matches.

Alberto Malesani's men have picked up only three points in their last five road games.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS

AC Milan (4-3-1-2)
Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta; Flamini, Pirlo, Seedorf; Boateng; Cassano, Robinho

Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri will be without the services of two key strikers as Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still suspended while Alexandre Pato is nursing a thigh injury. The league leaders also have some problems in midfield as Mark Van Bommel is suspended and Gennaro Gattuso is out with a muscle strain.

Bologna (5-3-2)
Viviano; Cassarini, Moras, Portanova, Britos, Morleo; Mutarelli, Mudingayi, Della Rocca; Ramirez, Di Vaio

Bologna have no suspensions to deal with but will have to make do without Diego Perez who will join long-term absentees Gyorgy Garics and Antonio Busce on the sidelines.
 
Prediction
Milan could win the Scudetto on Sunday if they beat Bologna and Inter slip up against Cesena the day before. Even without Ibrahimovic and Pato upfront the league leaders have enough firepower to take care of business at San Siro.
AC Milan 2-0 Bologna
