Milan host Bologna at San Siro on Wednesday 28 October in the ninth round of Serie A, looking to build on a run of form that has lifted them into the top half of the table.
Ruben Amorim's side arrive into this fixture with back-to-back league wins, the most recent a composed 2-0 victory at Udinese on Sunday. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring inside six minutes, and Omari Hutchinson added a second after the break to put the result beyond doubt.
The win was a timely response after a damaging 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the Europa League, and it confirmed that even a heavily depleted Milan squad can function effectively when called upon. Several players who stepped in as deputies made strong cases for regular starting roles.
Bologna arrive in Milan having found some momentum of their own under Raffaele Palladino. The visitors beat Cagliari 2-0 at the weekend, their third win from the last four Serie A fixtures, and they travel to San Siro with genuine confidence after a difficult start to the campaign.
The injury situation at Milan remains a significant concern. Amorim heads into this midweek game without seven first-team players, and the fitness of Adrien Rabiot, Mario Gila and Diego Moreira ahead of Saturday's derby against Inter is a growing source of anxiety at the club.
With the Milan-Inter derby arriving just three days after this fixture, squad management will be on Amorim's mind. Bologna, meanwhile, will see this as an opportunity to take points from a side that cannot yet call on its full complement of players.

Form
Milan have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches across all competitions, scoring 11 goals and conceding five. Their most recent outing was the 2-0 win at Udinese in Serie A, and they also beat Atalanta 3-2 and Salzburg 4-0 in that run. The only defeat came against Bournemouth in the Europa League, a 3-0 loss that interrupted an otherwise positive sequence.
Bologna have recorded two wins, two draws and one defeat across their last five games, scoring six goals and conceding six. Their most recent result was a 2-0 victory over Cagliari, and they also won 2-1 at Lecce during this stretch. The defeat came against Inter, a 3-1 loss, while draws against Torino and Sassuolo reflect a side that has been difficult to beat even when not at their best.
Head-to-Head Record
Milan have the stronger record in recent meetings between these two clubs. The most recent encounter came in February 2026, when Milan won 3-0 away at Bologna in Serie A. Across the last five meetings in all competitions, Milan have won three times to Bologna's one, with one match also going Bologna's way in a Coppa Italia fixture at San Siro in May 2025. Milan have scored ten goals across those five games and conceded five.
Standings
In the Serie A table, Milan sit fourth and are pushing for a Champions League position, while Bologna are 13th and looking to move clear of the lower reaches of the division. The gap in league standing gives this fixture a contrasting edge, with Milan seeking to consolidate their European ambitions and Bologna aiming to climb away from trouble.
