After a heavy 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the Europa League, Milan recovered by winning 2-0 over Udinese in the league. Now, they have the opportunity to achieve three consecutive wins in Serie A for the first time in 2026. The last time Milan won three in a row in the league was between November and December 2025.
The match against Bologna is very important for Milan, especially because they also have to prepare for the Derby della Madonnina against Inter which will take place three days later. Several players such as Adrien Rabiot, Mario Gila and Diego Moreira are confirmed to be absent, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek is also reported to be out for around a month due to a knee problem.
Gerry Cardinale said that even though the team is short of players, Amorim has done an extraordinary job in managing rotations and replacements. "The team continues to improve and shows great resilience after disappointing matches in Europe," Cardinale told Sky Sport Italia. "Ruben has managed rotations and substitutions well. All this puts us in good shape ahead of the home game on Wednesday."
Bologna, on the other hand, are currently on eight points after eight games, with their most recent win being 2-0 over Cagliari, in which Nicolo Casale and Federico Bernardeschi scored.
Players to Watch:
AC Milan – Christian Pulisic
Pulisic has been involved in four goals (two goals and two assists) in his last seven Serie A games, registering the same number of involvements as his previous 20 games.

Bologna – Federico Bernardeschi
Bernardeschi is the only Bologna player to score more than one goal in Serie A this season (two goals) and he could score in two consecutive league games for the second time in his career, having done so in November 2016.
Match Prediction: Victory for AC Milan

Milan have also won their first three home games in Serie A this season and are looking to start the campaign with four consecutive wins at home for the fifth time since the three points per win era.
