Milan remain unbeaten after eight league matches and carry the stronger points and scoring record, making the home win the sensible lean.

Prediction

AC Milan remain my pick to beat Bologna, with the published 2-1 score lean still the best fit. Milan are unbeaten through eight league matches, while Bologna have lost four of eight. The late lineup feed lists 22 starters but assigns every player to an unknown team, so it offers no clear reason to alter the view. Milan have drifted slightly from 1.62 to 1.74, which is worth unpacking.

The original Milan win call still holds up. They sit fifth with 18 points from eight matches, unbeaten at 5-3-0, and have scored 16 goals while conceding seven. Bologna are 13th on eight points, with two wins, two draws and four losses; their eight goals scored and 10 conceded underline the gap between the sides so far. Milan's recent five bring three wins and two draws, including a 2-0 victory at Udinese and a 3-2 win over Atalanta. Bologna have won two, drawn one and lost two across the same stretch, although the 2-0 success at Cagliari shows they can carry a threat away from home.

The lineup update does not force a revision. It contains 22 players marked as starters, but every entry is labelled unknown-team rather than Milan or Bologna, so there is no reliable team-specific confirmation to use against the previous prediction. That means the published medium-confidence Milan lean should stand rather than being reshaped around uncertain assignments.

The main late change is in the prices. Milan's win price has moved from 1.62 to 1.74, while both teams to score has gone from 1.80 to 1.95 and Over 2.5 Goals from 1.82 to 2.06. Those are drifts, so the market is a little less convinced by the original home-and-goals angle, but none is remotely close to a reversal. Milan are still clear favourites, and the current numbers remain consistent with a competitive home win rather than a one-sided result. For me, 2-1 Milan is still the cleanest read.

AC Milan to win

Key reasons

Milan are unbeaten through seven Serie A matches, collecting 15 points from four wins and three draws.
Milan have scored 14 league goals in seven games, while Bologna have managed six and conceded 10.
Recent form favours Milan, who are unbeaten in five matches, while Bologna have lost two of their last five.

Risk factors

Milan have drawn three of their last five matches, so their superiority has not always translated into a clean win.
Bologna scored in four of their last five games, including away wins at Lecce, giving them a credible route to contribute.
