Stefano Pioli has made two changes to the starting XI for Milan-Bologna compared to the clash against Atalanta last time out. It’s a good opportunity for the Rossoneri to get back to winning ways as Inter lost yesterday.
The 1-1 draw against Atalanta left a bitter-sweet taste as Milan could have come away with all three points. The overall performance was there but they lacked the final touch, which is why Pioli has made two attacking changes for tonight’s clash.
Charles De Ketelaere starts instead of Brahim Diaz in the trequartista role, hoping to show his best side in front of a sold-out San Siro. Furthermore, Olivier Giroud has got the nod instead of Ante Rebic for the centre-forward role.
Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Theo; Bennacer, Tonali; Messias, De Ketelaere, Leao; Giroud.
Bench: Tatarusanu, Mirante, Ballo-Toure, Adli, Diaz, Rebic, Bakayoko, Kjaer, Florenzi, Origi, Pobega, Gabbia, Saelemaekers.

Good starting line up
It’s better than 2 previous xi. I still desperate for Adli to get more time to play.
More? Try any.
Pioli has given him Zero. Yet we still play with Messias on The flank. At least we know nothing will happen from that side.
Adli played for half hour in this match and it’s clear why Pioli didn’t played him from the start because he needs to build more muscles. You can’t play as trequartista or DM if your body thin like Adli.
