AC MILAN v BOLOGNA: MATCH PREVIEW

A league meeting on Friday before Wednesday's final. AC Milan are getting ready to face Bologna on Serie A Matchday 36, scheduled for 20:45 CEST at San Siro, ahead of the Coppa Italia final on 14 May. Sérgio Conceição's side are ready to give their all to take maximum points in this final stage of the season to keep believing in a European spot next year. On the other hand, Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna, in a good run of form, will be looking to make the Rossoneri suffer. Let's get ready for kick-off with our Match Preview.

LATEST FROM MILANELLO 
AC Milan are coming into the game off a recent confidence boost with two consecutive wins in Serie A against Venezia and Genoa, as well as the Coppa Italia triumph over Inter. Conceição's side have shown their continued growth, despite a few difficulties along the way. The loss to Atalanta was a wake-up call, but the Rossoneri managed to react quickly. Over these past few weeks, with the change of system, the team have shown good results, with the hope that these last games can ensure we end the season well. Rafael Leão is suspended, and there may be slight changes in the line-up with a big game to come. There was no press conference.

LATEST FROM BOLOGNA
Bologna are heading to San Siro after a decent draw against Juventus in their most recent league game. Italiano's side have shown their defensive solidity, keeping a clean sheet in their last two Serie A away games. However, the Rossoblù have struggled to score away from home. Bologna are still in the race for a Champions League spot, and they will be determined to take maximum points. They have no suspensions, but Odgaard, Ndoye, Holm and Pedrola are unavailable. 

PRE-MATCH NUMBERS

• AC Milan have won 19 points from losing positions this season (three of which from our last game), while Bologna have taken 18 points from behind (one last weekend): the two sides meeting at San Siro are the strongest for this statistic in the league this year.
• AC Milan have won their last two Serie A games (against Venezia and Genoa) but they have drawn two of their last three home Serie A games against Bologna (1W), just as many draws as in their last 16 games played at San Siro in the competition (11W, 3L)
• Theo Hernández is on four goals in the league this season, and he could reach five goals in a season for the fifth time in Serie A, equalling Sergio Cervato and Giacinto Facchetti, the only two defenders to have managed five goals in five different seasons.
