A 17-game unbeaten run: All the key stats ahead of Bologna vs. Milan | OneFootball

AC Milan will play Bologna in a competitive game for the 187th time tonight, hoping to continue a very good recent run against them.

Milan have 87 wins, 47 draws and 52 defeats across their 125-year history against Bologna, a win rate of 46.8%. Milan won the game at the Dall’Ara last season in round one of the season with goals from Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic,too.

What is rather remarkable is that Milan have lost only two away games against Bologna this millenium, and they were the first two games that they played, in 2000-01 and 2001-02.

Our pre-match preview has the latest team news and further insight on the opponents, while below are the key stats ahead of the rescheduled fixture.
