AC Milan's form: three wins, two heavy nights
Milan's last six read won 3, drawn 1, lost 2, with 11 scored and 8 conceded. The shape of that is lumpy rather than steady. They put four past Red Bull Salzburg away 13 days before this match, beat Atalanta 3-2 at home 10 days before it, and then lost 0-3 away to Bournemouth in the Europa League 6 days before it.
That is the pattern worth holding onto: Milan have been in a three-goal game in four of those six. They scored twice or more in three of them and failed to score in two. Nothing about this side has been quiet.
At home they have won two of three, the exception a 0-2 defeat to Benfica 42 days before Wednesday. The 3-0 win over Lecce and the Atalanta result came at San Siro too.
Bologna's form: five points, nothing clean
Five points from six is a thin return, and Bologna have not kept a clean sheet in any of them. Won 1, drawn 2, lost 3; six goals scored, nine conceded. Both sides have scored in four of the six.
Their only win was 2-1 away at Lecce, 17 days before this fixture. Since then they lost 1-3 at home to Inter, 11 days out. Before the Lecce win came a 1-1 draw with Torino, a 0-1 loss at SSC Napoli and a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo.
The home record is the odd part. Bologna have won none of their last three at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara and have taken their only win on the road, one from three away. So the trip to Milan is not automatically the harder half of their week.
Team news for AC Milan and Bologna
Milan are carrying a long list. Gonçalo Ramos picked up a calf problem in training on 21 October and missed the Bournemouth game, while Samuel Chukwueze is out with a hip injury that could keep him out for months, per Football Italia. Matteo Gabbia suffered a flexor injury with partial tendon involvement against Sassuolo and faces several months out, according to Milan Reports, and Alexis Saelemaekers has had ankle surgery with a five-to-six month estimate on it, says SempreMilan. Bologna confirmed Roberto Piccoli will be out at least three weeks with a lesion to the femoral bicep in his right thigh, sustained in the Inter defeat, with Riccardo Orsolini also dealing with a muscular problem and Emil Holm facing four to six months after hamstring surgery, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
Where the two runs meet
A Milan side in four three-goal games out of six, against a Bologna defence that has conceded in all six. That is the collision, and it points one way.
The counter is Milan's own back line: they conceded twice or more in three of six, and the 0-3 at Bournemouth was only six days before this. Bologna have scored twice or more in two of six, so they are capable of getting on the board. They just have not been capable of keeping the other end shut.
AC Milan vs Bologna prediction
Our prediction is an AC Milan win over Bologna in this Serie A fixture at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, with Bologna scoring. Milan have taken 10 points from their last six against Bologna's 5, and have won two of their last three at home. Bologna's lack of a single clean sheet in six, set against a Milan attack that has been in a three-goal game four times in six, is the clearest edge on the table. Milan's defensive lapses are real enough that a shut-out feels like the wrong call.
Our prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Bologna
