Milan vs Bologna: How to Watch on TV, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team News

Milan will extend their unbeaten run to eight games should they avoid defeat to mid-table Bologna at San Siro on Saturday night.

Stefano Pioli's side have been undefeated in the league since Serie A's resumption in mid-June, beating the likes of Roma, Lazio and Juventus in the process. They faced Parma last time out and their performance in the first-half gave cause for concern - especially when they went a goal down shortly before half-time.

I Rossoneri came back in spectacular fashion in the second-half, however, scoring three within the space of 22 minutes to secure an emphatic win.

Bologna have satisfied expectations in the league so far, currently occupying tenth place. They put a solid performance in their 1-1 draw against in-form Napoli on Wednesday, and also took a big scalp in the form of Inter earlier this month.

Given their performances as of late, Milan will be going into this game with a ton of confidence, but will also be wary of complacency considering Bologna's recent victory over Inter at San Siro.

Nevertheless, I Rossoneri haven't looked like being beaten lately, and another victory should be well within their grasp.

Prediction: Milan 3-1 Bologna
