As discussed in our latest newsletter, the fact that Milan and Bologna are facing each other in back-to-back games is indeed a bit special. Having said that, while tonight’s clash doesn’t matter too much for the Rossoneri in terms of the league standings, it certainly does for the Rossoblu.
Compared to the comeback win against Genoa, Sergio Conceicao has made one change to the starting XI, replacing Youssouf Fofana with Joao Felix. This means that Ruben Loftus-Cheek is starting in midfield tonight, rather than in a more advanced position.
There is no watchalong for the game, sadly, but Lorenzo and Stefano will be back in action for the Coppa Italia final next week. In the meantime, you can follow the action from Milan-Bologna round 1 with our live commentary, as published on our X account.
