Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 7th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +11
Bologna, 8th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +7

Bologna won the rescheduled Week 9 match with a 2-1 on Thursday, February 27, 2025, at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy.  Coach Vincenzo Italiano’s squad climbs the standings to 44 points, surpassing Milan and closing in on fourth place, which is crucial for Champions League qualification. Surely, it was a tough night for Milan as their dreams of reaching the European zone slipped further away.  With this win, Bologna now sits in 6th place, while Milan stays in 8th with 41 points. Ouch! The key contributions from Santiago Castro and Ndoye scoring for Bologna. Leao’s goal, which briefly put Milan ahead at 1-0, ultimately didn’t change the outcome.

Stats: Bologna has achieved a home victory over AC Milan in Serie A for the first time since March 10, 2002, with a score of 2-0, thanks to goals from Salvatore Fresi and Julio Cruz.

In the upcoming match, Bologna will take on Cagliari, while Milan is set to face Lazio.

The Rossoneri are looking to bounce back after a loss in Turin against Torino. Bologna is eager to recover from an unexpected defeat to Parma.

The match …

Milan took the lead in the 43rd minute when Rafael Leão, the Portuguese forward, found the back of the net with a left-footed shot aimed at the center. The assist came from Mexican forward Santiago Giménez, showcasing their impressive teamwork!

In the 48th minute, Bologna brought the game back to a tie as Santiago Castro netted a goal with a right-footed shot from close range, placing it in the bottom right corner. Giovanni Fabbian provided the assist. The score is now Bologna 1 – 1 Milan.

Bologna clinched the lead in the 82nd minute when Dan Ndoye netted a close-range goal with his right foot, thanks to an assist from Nicolò Cambiaghi. The score is now Bologna 2, Milan 1.

✅ Stats before the game:

Milan has an impressive record against Bologna. They are unbeaten in their last 17 Serie A encounters, with 13 wins and 4 draws. The last time Bologna triumphed over Milan was on January 6, 2016, when they won 1-0 at the Meazza thanks to a goal from Emanuele Giaccherini. The Rossoneri have only experienced longer unbeaten streaks against three teams in the top flight: Catania (26), Chievo (25), and SPAL (26).

On the other hand, Bologna managed to secure a draw in their most recent match against Milan in Serie A, finishing 2-2 on January 27, 2024. They haven’t gone two consecutive matches without a loss against the Rossoneri since the 2011-2012 season, when they recorded two draws under coach Stefano Pioli.

Excluding the first matchday, Bologna and Milan (both 41 points in the current championship) face each other in a match with exactly the same points in the standings for the first time since the 16th matchday of 2017/18 (21 points each in that case): the Rossoneri won 2-1 at the Meazza on that occasion.

Bologna have not found a home win against Milan in 18 consecutive games in Serie A (5D, 13P).  The last home win for the Rossoblu against the Diavolo dates back to 10 March 2002 (2-0, goals by Salvatore Fresi and Julio Cruz).  Only against Juventus (21, streak still ongoing) have the Emilians recorded a longer home streak without a win in the top flight.
After the defeat in the most recent match against Parma, Bologna could lose two games in a row in Serie A for the first time in over two years, or since January 2023 (against Roma and Atalanta in that case).

Bologna are unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 home league games (W7 D8).  Their only defeat in that period coming on December 30 against Hellas Verona. In addition, the Emilians have won their last three games at the Dall’Ara and have not achieved four consecutive home wins in Serie A since February 2024.
