Milan to stay in the Scudetto race, which for now seems confined to the Milan area. Bologna to stay in the race for Europe, and to reverse a negative trend of results that has lasted for a couple of months, during which the Rossoblù have won only one league match out of 10 played and have slipped to eighth place in the standings, 5 points behind Atalanta, who are seventh and would currently be in the Conference League. Unless there are particular exploits in the Coppa Italia, where the Rossoblù, unlike the Diavolo, are still in contention, and will face Lazio, who eliminated the Milanese, a week later, always at the Dall’Ara, in the quarter-finals.

Bologna-Milan closes the program for matchday 23 of the league and is even played on a Tuesday. The Rossoneri, who have already faltered at the Olimpico against Roma, must try to bring home full points in another away game that is on paper anything but simple, so as not to risk seeing Inter, who play more than 48 hours before the Rossoneri and are engaged in Cremona, pull further away.
Here is all the useful information, analysis, and prediction for Bologna-Milan, the twenty-third matchday of Serie A 2025/2026, also based on the positions of the Italian bookmakers.
Our prediction for Bologna-Milan
Bologna has not won a match at the Dall’Ara in the league since last November 9, since the 2-0 victory against Napoli that had made the Rossoblù fans dream of the noblest possible achievements. From December onwards, something has gone wrong, and if we exclude some cup matches, the home record has suddenly become disastrous, with only one draw collected in 5 matches. The Emilian team has not been very lucky lately either, as at Marassi against Genoa they had the game in hand at 2-0 but then everything changed with the disastrous expulsion of goalkeeper Skorupski, which sparked the Genoese comeback, culminating in the splendid 3-2 goal in the 91st minute by a former Rossonero, Junior Messias.
Even Milan seemed on the verge of bringing home the match against Roma when, after suffering a lot in the first half and thanking, as usual, Maignan for keeping the score level before the break, they had opened the scoring with a winning header from De Winter. But a subsequent handball by Bartesaghi led to a penalty kick, coolly converted by Pellegrini, who drew the Rossoneri back and set the final score at 1-1. Inter, who are now 5 points ahead of their rivals, are grateful.
Another slip could cost Milan dearly in the Scudetto race, but they face a Bologna that, in turn, cannot afford any slip-ups. We therefore opt for a double chance combo, with X2 combined with an Over 2-4 goals, for odds that hover around double on all sites.
| OPERATOR | X2+Multigol 2-4 |
|---|---|
 | 2.00 |
 | 1.92 |
 | 1.94 |
 | 1.95 |
 | 1.97 |

3 key points, between Europe and the Scudetto
It is a delicate match for both teams, because on one hand Bologna, taking advantage of the direct clash between Atalanta and Como, has the opportunity to get back into contention for a European spot, while Milan, especially if Inter were to bring home full points at the Zini against Cremonese, finding themselves momentarily 8 points ahead, cannot afford any more missteps if they still want to believe in the Scudetto.
Bologna-Milan: 1X2 odds
Milan is the favorite, but not by much, with victory being above double odds everywhere. The 1 and X signs are more than 3 times the stake.

| 3.65 | 3.45 | 2.10 |
| 3.60 | 3.30 | 2.15 |
| 3.50 | 3.40 | 2.10 |
Bologna-Milan: correct score odds
A victory for Bologna with any score reaches double digits. The odds for a Rossoneri victory are slightly more contained, with 1-1 being the lowest-paying result.
| OPERATOR | 1-0 | 1-1 | 0-1 | 1-2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11.00 | 6.00 | 7.50 | 9.00 |
