AC Milan travel to Bologna for their next Serie A encounter on Tuesday night.
The Rossoneri are looking to extend their impressive unbeaten streak, and the Rossoblu are aiming to halt a domestic slump that has seen them win just once in their last 10 league matches.
Bologna beat Milan in last season’s Coppa Italia final, although the Italian giants gained a measure of revenge when they met earlier this season, winning 1-0 at the San Siro thanks to a Luka Modric goal.

Bologna team news
Bologna will be without the services of John Lucumi, who is doubtful for the match with a muscle injury, though the defender has joined full training, but this match might come too soon for him.
More significantly, goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski will serve a suspension after receiving a red card in the 3-2 defeat to Genoa last weekend — a match where the Rossoblu squandered a two-goal halftime lead before suffering a defensive collapse in the second half. Federico Ravaglia will deputise in goal.

AC Milan team news
Christian Pulisic, the club’s leading goalscorer this season with ten goals in all competitions, is dealing with physical discomfort, meaning he is doubtful for this game. Niclas Füllkrug, recently signed on loan from West Ham in January, is also managing a broken toe.
Furthermore, Alexis Saelemaekers has been ruled out due to a recurrence of his adductor problem, while Santiago Gimenez remains unavailable as he continues his recovery following ankle surgery in December, with an expected return targeted for mid-February.
Should Pulisic fail to recover in time, Christopher Nkunku and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were being prepared as alternative attacking options during training.
Form
Bologna: WLDLW
Vincenzo Italiano’s side has endured mixed domestic performances this season, accumulating 30 points from 22 Serie A matches with eight wins, six draws, and eight losses. Their recent league record has been particularly inconsistent, securing only one victory in their last 10 league matches. They did, however, beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-0 away in the UEFA Europa League last week.
AC Milan: DDWWD
Massimiliano Allegri’s side have emerged as serious title contenders this season, holding second position with 47 points from 22 matches. The Rossoneri boast an impressive record of 13 victories, eight draws, and just one defeat throughout the campaign.
Milan’s away performances have been particularly exceptional, maintaining an unbeaten record across all 11 away fixtures with six victories and five draws. Their last Serie A outing concluded in a 1-1 draw against AS Roma, preserving their unbeaten run despite a lack of attacking sharpness.
