The match between AC Milan and Bologna which took place at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium has just started and has now entered the 32nd minute. Of course in this match AC Milan is the most favored team to be able to win, but Bologna who in this match appeared as the host, they will not just give 3 points to AC Milan. Playing as the host, the Bologna players appeared with full confidence, and so far Bologna has dominated the game, but it is very unfortunate that they have not been able to build an effective attack to be able to break through the goal of AC Milan.

This their match had becoming a tough one tonight, because I want expected that Bologna hold AC Milan by given them so much pressure all this while I’m taken a Bologna as weak team; but honestly with the way their performing current now against AV Milan it’s prove that their also strong enough.

Because I can se that even the possession Bologna are the one leading then by possession, imagine that inter Milan was the first to lead them by 1 goal, they’re not capable to secure their goal they give their opponents chances of equalized back; and that’s Bologna make their performance so strong to lead the game to a draw.

Ac Milan are playing with fire, they were in control of the game in the first half but the second half is speaking a different language, is all about Bologna and they have been the ones causing more damage and asking questions. This is another reason why I can't say Ac Milan are going to do well in some games and why they can't be among the title contenders, they are never serious. If they get a comfortable win today the next you see them managing to hold on to a 1nil lead. IMO I'll go for Bologna to get a win because they deserve it more than the visitors even if the odds are in favor of Milan.

In this match, AC Milan is actually the most favored team to win. However, Bologna who played as the host certainly would not just give 3 full points to AC Milan, Bologna gave quite fierce resistance to AC Milan, even though in the first half Bologna had to be left behind by one goal from AC Milan.

and now the match is nearing the end, Bologna managed to turn things around to be an advantage for the host so that for the time being the score became 2-1. In the second half, Bologna continued to press AC Milan's defense, and that produced quite good results, AC Milan's defense became shaky and Bologna managed to score 2 goals against AC Milan. and even though the score was very thin with only a few minutes left in the match, I am quite sure that this will be a victory for the host.

2 interesting games this wee week with Milan Lazio and Inter Napoli.

The match between Inter Milan and Napoli will be a very interesting game and with the fact that Napoli lost their last game against Como will make them to take that game seriously and since Inter Milan is also a point ahead of them, they will not allow them to give them much gap which means pressure will be on Napoli than Inter Milan and since they are playing at home, they will have more advantage than Inter Milan. Napoli has been so consistent so far and if not for the last game they lost, they could have still been topping the Serie A table. Inter Milan on the hand has also been resilient and chasing Napoli without relenting so since they have finally rested at the top, they will also want to secure it for some time even if they will be dethroned but they will have the feelings of being at the top for a while.
       For AC Milan against Lazio, it's also difficult to predict but Milan can win since they are out of the Champions League games, they will focus more on the league games unlike Lazio that is still very agile in the Europa League and their attention is divided.

Motta has been confirmed from the management for now.
If he will fail the 4th position he will be sacked for sure.
It may be sacked anyway at the end of the seaoson if the lost the trust from the players.
And of the moment there is nothing that confirms that players believes in him.

We can understand that Juventus board sets a minimum target for Motta to finish in UCL zone. Juventus commonly finished at the top 4 each season. So, Motta needs to prove that he has the same capability as the previous coach at least. However, I think Juventus will have a big chance to stay in the top 4 because Lazio, Bologna, or Fiorentina performed inconsistently.

I don't think the players will lose trust to Motta. He isn't a typical of coach who often has a problem with the players. I'm sure the players will trust on him as long as Motta can give the players the chance to play properly. Recently, Juventus also performed better, they won all the latest 4 matches. If this continues, there is no way that the players will doubt Motta.

AC Milan started off today in the 7th position whilst Bologna were in 8th position although they both had the same points but were differentiated by goals. AC Milan took the lead in the first half through R. Leao and they moved to 6th position after that goal. But currently, AC Milan just replaced Bologna and they are currently sitting in 8th position as at now because they are losing, Lol. This is exactly what inconsistency can cause.

Milan is now in crisis, the change of coach has not had the desired effects and is obtaining worse results than Fonseca. Having won the Italian Super Cup is honestly not gratifying for what we saw afterwards. It seems that the players do not carefully follow Conceicao's requests, if they want to save at least their honor they will have to reverse course and try to get at least among the top 5 positions, at this rate they even risk not playing in any European competition next year

.......................................

Of course, this match is an important match for the two clubs and of course it is true that their strengths are certainly not much different, but in this match the two teams will definitely compete fiercely because of course if, for example, Bologna manages to beat Milan, then Bologna will definitely have the potential to move up the rankings and will be able to shift Fiorentina's position. Likewise, if Milan wins, there will definitely be a big potential to shift Fiorentina's position and it is true that the point is that the match that will be played today will be very exciting.

Of course, the AC Milan vs Bologna match is only a few hours away and of course this match is really much awaited because the winner will definitely get the full 3 points. In my opinion, Milan will have the potential to win the Nani match, but it certainly won't be easy because their strengths are not that different. but of course in the next match I will bet on Milan winning and to be honest, my friends and I have gathered to get ready to watch the match later and most of them also of course support Milan and I am also sure that Milan will win and I predict a score of 2-1 for the match.

The match between AC Milan and Bologna which took place at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium has just started and has now entered the 32nd minute. Of course in this match AC Milan is the most favored team to be able to win, but Bologna who in this match appeared as the host, they will not just give 3 points to AC Milan. Playing as the host, the Bologna players appeared with full confidence, and so far Bologna has dominated the game, but it is very unfortunate that they have not been able to build an effective attack to be able to break through the goal of AC Milan.

At this time both teams are still playing with great caution, so the temporary score is still 0-0. And maybe the intensity of the match will increase after the change of rounds.

It sounds funny as you said the temporary score. Because it’s actually a temporary score, knowing well that the game ended up in the favour of Bologna because we all know that Bologna will not like to lose a home game even though the first goal in the game was scored by AC Milan in the first half. And boom, some minutes in the second half, Bologna won the game. It is very amazing for the game to end on a score of 2-1 like some predicted because I myself was not thinking the game would wind up on a draw or a loss for Bologna because I know how their defence can be in the game as it is a home game for them.

We have seen improvement in the performance of Juventus' atacking players. At the same time, the Juventus coach has changed his match strategy. Overall , Juventus' overall gameplay is now strong . So it can be expected that we will see Juventus  in the top four of the table.

Well here what I can say is that yesterday Juve lost against Empoli, I really wanted Juve to win, they have to do something much better to achieve their objectives, the objectives are basically to score goals and win, that's the only thing that can save them, I would like Juve to go back to how they were before, to have that incredible level of play that they always maintained when they were with CR7 and Dybala , now they can do it, they just have to be more consistent, the coach has to do everything possible for that, if he is doing well, because they need it urgently.

and now the match is nearing the end, Bologna managed to turn things around to be an advantage for the host so that for the time being the score became 2-1. In the second half, Bologna continued to press AC Milan's defense, and that produced quite good results, AC Milan's defense became shaky and Bologna managed to score 2 goals against AC Milan. and even though the score was very thin with only a few minutes left in the match, I am quite sure that this will be a victory for the host.

The match ended in favor of the Bologna they directly secure their 3 points easily, but I think stated that Bologna managed to score 2 goals is a wrong statement, because anyone who watch their match probably will not make this kind of the statements; all this while I’m also taken Bologna as a weak team but honestly I’m so proud of them with the way they performed well against AC Milan.

Bologna, dominate the both first half and the second half of the match with a fantastic performance, they started produced a positive result right from the first half, since they where able to lead AC Milan by higher numbers of possessions; it show prove that Bologna they really ready to come and dominated the entirely match.

This was the same pattern they took to approach the game against Torino. They controlled and pressed Torino but as soon as they (Torino) got one chance in front of goal, they took it. It's like they were intentional with their chances whereas Milan were joking about everything, thinking they could turn the game around. Now that Bologna have won them by the same scoreline that Torino defeated them by, I feel they will consider another pattern when they play against smaller teams because it's clear enough that this one's not doing the job.
 I used to respect AC Milan whenever they have a game and smaller clubs had that fear that they would not survive the night when they get paired against Milan but these days it's not the case because just about any club could make a hit on them and they will fall. It's not like they are still in the champions league competition that's what they performance in the league is being affected but it's beginning to look like they are not the AC Milan that packs threat but just another average club with big names in it.

The match between AC Milan and Bologna which took place at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium has just started and has now entered the 32nd minute.

Bologna avenged their defeat in the previous matchday with a very impressive victory against AC Milan. In the end, Bologna was able to return to the position for now, leaving AC Milan who are in 8th place. AC Milan's defeat from Bologna 2 - 0 is indeed not so surprising, from the statistics alone, Bologna did play better, more attacks and also ball possession.

This match was indeed very fierce, and Bologna really seemed to dominate the game well in this match. But in the 43rd minute Milan managed to score first and with this in the first half Milan took the lead for a while with a one goal difference. But in the second half the performance of the Bologna players started to look very good in attacking and finally in the 48th minute Bologna managed to equalize the score at 1-1. Then after that the match was really very fierce, Milan and Bologna really fought each other in this match. But towards the 80th minute the Milan players' performance experienced a slight decline, and finally in the 82nd minute Milan conceded again. Then after that the score became 2-1 and until the second half finished the score did not change and finally Bologna was able to win this match.

So in this match Milan failed to bring home the full 3 points, I think this proves that Milan's current performance has not improved. Apart from it, Milan's position is also currently in 8th position with a score of 41 points. I think with Milan's current performance, it is likely that they will find it difficult to finish in the top 5 in Serie A.

But if Milan is able to recover from its downturn, maybe they have big enough potential to finish in the top 5. But if, for example, Milan continues to show less than optimal performance in every match, I think Milan has the potential to finish in its current position. So we'll just have to wait until the end of the season, whether Milan can recover or not.

AC Milan continued their bad form recently but the match between AC Milan and Bologna means Serie A overview now looks better. All clubs already played same total matches, 26 matches and we can have better view on the league ranking table as well as temporary positions and changes of top clubs in competitions for top four or top six.

Let's see the ranking table.
Inter Milan 57
Napoli 56
Atalanta 54
Juventus 49
Lazio 47
Bologna 44
Fiorentina 42
AC Milan 41
AS Roma 40

With this win, Bologna holds the sixth position but they have big gap with Juventus so top four is far for Bologna. The competition for top six or a sixth position is for four clubs: Bologna, Fiorentina, AC Milan and AS Roma and it's a tough competition with only four point difference.

Leading first in the first half by Milan did not make Bologna as the host in the match at all afraid because in the second half Bologna was able to turn things around to win with a score of 2-1. This could give a little sign that Bologna this season is a little better than Milan and there is also a possibility for Bologna to enter the Coppa Italia final this season too. In addition, a victory at home like this can also increase the team's confidence to be better and will be more solid in the upcoming matches, both in Serie A and in the Coppa Italia.

Bologna is not a weak team. Bologna has played very well this season. Bologna is very strong especially in home matches. Bologna has lost only one match in 13 home matches. So I was sure that Bologna vs Milan match would be very competitive.

At the end of the first half Milan was leading 1-0. Leao scored the goal in the last minute of the first half. In the second half Bologna changed their strategy and played completely attacking strategy. Bologna equalized the match in the 48th minute of the second half. And in the second half Bologna players dominated the match.

[Furious 7]

I think the key fact may be that Bologna last beat Milan in 2016... So Milan, if the stats are to be believed, have a dominance in head-to-head encounters... If Bologna can win today, it will be a big event for them... But I think that Milan will not lose in this game and it will be a draw...

Judging from H2H, AC Milan is indeed more favored, but the current conditions are different, both teams display balanced strength so it feels fair if the final result of this match is a draw.
Well, the first half is over, the temporary score is 0-1 for Milan's advantage, Leao is the player who brought Milan's advantage for the time being, hopefully Bologna will increase the aggressiveness of their attacks in the second half so they can score goals too, no need for many, one goal is enough to secure my bet.

Looking at h2h and the strength of the club, Milan is currently still very superior because after all, in terms of the depth of their squad we can see that in the end Milan is far superior to individualits players, it's just that for now Milan is still in an unstable performance which makes their condition not too good.

In terms of position, they are also quite balanced where their points are the same only different goals for now. I think this will be a pretty interesting match but this match is uncertain because for now we even doubt this will be a victory for Milan who are still quite bad in terms of finishing.
I am even quite hesitant to bet 1x2 for this match but it may still be possible to go over 1.5 or indeed both clubs score because both clubs are likely to score in this match even though Milan may be quite bad but they may still be able to score 1 goal or even more if the striker is in good shape.

It seems that the players do not carefully follow Conceicao's requests, if they want to save at least their honor they will have to reverse course and try to get at least among the top 5 positions, at this rate they even risk not playing in any European competition next year

The only hope if Milan wants to compete in European competition next year is to get the Coppa Italian trophy. So far, Milan still has a chance as semifinalist and will fight versus Intermilan next. But of course it is like Mission Impossible, because Inter is on fire. It will be very difficult to go to the final if Milan still does not improve his strategy. Conceicao has not yet shown significant improvement. They even lost 2 consecutive matches, and we can't expect too much that they can win many trophies for the season. I don't know why on the 2nd half Milan has not evolved as much as 1st half. Milan should have maintained their advantages, but a change of strategy in the second half made Bologna appear impressive, and Milan could not anticipate quickly by Milan defender.

[Despairo]

Milan is just a bad team in the first place, they have Gimenez, Felix and Walker, their performance aren't that bad actually, they can still perform. Bologna's squad is a combination of young players who not able to reach senior team, second tier players and old players who no longer playing in senior team, yet Milan still lose.

Better to sack the manager instead, maybe Italian teams good when they get managed by Italian managers too. Inter, Atalanta, Napoli, and Juventus are managed by Italian managers. Milan was better when Stefano Pioli was the manager.
