Bologna

• Roberto Soriano will not travel to San Siro, which means Sinisa Mihajlovic could drop his favoured 4-2-3-1 lineup and field a 4-3-3 formation.
• Ibrahima Mbaye is also suspended and will be replaced by either Filip Helander or Arturo Calabresi.

• AC Milan lost at Torino last week and dropped back to seventh, with Lazio just a point back. They are struggling badly and pressure is building up, so much that Gennaro Gattuso had to call a „ritiro“, a training camp with no breaks ahead of this game.
• By beating their direct rivals Empoli, Bologna have likely achieved their goal of avoiding relegation. But Sinisa Mihajlovic will want that to be official, possibly by taking points off his former club.
• The quality of the two squads suggests Milan should win this game easily, but their current form says exactly the opposite.
