AC Milan vs Bologna FC 1909 Prediction 9 May 2025

Both sides are still in the hunt for continental football next season, making this a crucial encounter as the campaign draws to a close.

Milan, currently sitting ninth with 57 points and a goal difference of 55:39, are in real danger of missing out on Europe altogether. Despite decent recent form overall — wins over Udinese (4:0), Venezia (2:0), and Genoa (2:1), along with a 2:2 draw with Fiorentina — their narrow 0:1 loss to Atalanta highlighted the inconsistency that has plagued them, particularly at home. The Rossoneri have struggled to assert dominance at the San Siro, a concern that could cost them dearly in the race for European spots.

Bologna, meanwhile, are just outside the top four, sitting seventh with 62 points and a solid 53:38 goal difference. Despite an impressive 1:0 victory over Inter, they’ve found wins harder to come by in recent weeks, with draws against Napoli (1:1), Juventus (1:1), and Udinese (0:0), and a 0:2 defeat to Atalanta. Still, the Rossoblù have shown they can hold their own against top-tier opponents, and remain just a point shy of the Champions League zone.

Given Milan’s home struggles and Bologna’s knack for grinding out results against stronger sides, this matchup is poised to be tightly contested. Both teams are likely to play with purpose, knowing what’s at stake. A competitive draw with goals from both ends seems a realistic outcome as they battle to keep their European hopes alive.
