Milan and Bologna will face each other for the 3rd round of Serie A. The current champions, Milan, are looking for their second win, after drawing away from home in the last round. Although the score may seem acceptable because it was a game on a strong opponent’s soil, the red-black presented a performance that would have allowed them to win the game against Atalanta.
Bologna will attempt to get their first victory in Serie A 22/23, as they lost in the first round and drew at home in the previous game. The team will not have Orsolini, its main player, sent off in the last match against Verona.

Why Bet on Milan?
Milan is playing its second match at home, having won the first by a 4-2 scoreline against Udinese and tied 1-1 with Atalanta. For this game, it will have the support of more than 70 thousand fans, motivated by the victory of the last championship and enthusiastic in search of this season’s title.
They won’t count on the Swedish Ibrahimovic, a very important player who operated on his knee and only returns in January 2023; he has an average of 2 goals per match in a recent retrospect.
Why Bet on Bologna?
In search of their first victory in Serie A, Bologna will try to surprise the defending champions. That said, they will try to control their nerves, because in the two previous rounds the team had 1 player sent off in each match. They will have the comeback of its top scorer, Arnautovic, author of the equalizing goal against Verona in the previous round.
Even with the absence of Orsolini, Bologna can repeat the feat of 2016, when in the San Siro they beat the hosts by the minimum score of 0x1. It was the last victory of the visitors against the hosts away from home.
Final Betting Analysis: Milan vs. Bologna
At the beginning of the season, Milan still didn’t have the defensive solidity that led them to the title in the previous season, as they allowed 3 goals in 2 games, which can turn this match into something more difficult than it should.
However, they are the wide favorites for the confrontation, due to the technical disparity between the squads, recent performances, and the different realities.
Our pick is a 3-1 win for Milan.
