Milan is preparing to challenge Bologna at the San Siro, with the aim of winning their third consecutive victory in Serie A. Bologna, on the other hand, is looking for their second victory of the season to confirm their position above the tunnel. The match, scheduled for 6.30pm, will be refereed by Juan Luca Sacchi.
Coach Ruben Amorim has decided to bench two of the club's stars, Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic. In midfield, Musah is flanked by Jashari, while Bartesaghi remains the high left winger. Alphadjo Cisse plays in support of Pulisic, although the latter has been left out of the lineup. On the defensive front, Raffaele Palladino made slight changes: the left flanks were replaced by Alhassane and Mbangula, while striker Odgaard was kept on the pitch. Dovbyk remained outside the group.
Milan's official lineup was released in a 4-4-1-1 layout: Maignan in goal; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic and Estupinan in defense; Hutchinson, Musah, Jashari and Bartesaghi in midfield; Cisse in attacco; and Ramos in the penalty goal.
