The air in Milan crackles with anticipation as AC Milan prepares to welcome Bologna to the San Siro. This league clash is just the first act of a compelling double feature, with the two sides also set to lock horns in the Coppa Italia final next week.
Having snatched a morale-boosting 2-1 victory away at Genoa, the Rossoneri seem to have found some rhythm, securing three wins in their last four Serie A outings. However, their fortress at the San Siro has been somewhat breached recently, with only one victory in their last four home league matches.
They'll be looking to buck that trend against a Bologna side proving to be a tough nut to crack, having tasted defeat just once in their last ten league encounters.
Milan can take some solace in their defensive solidity at home, boasting a clean sheet in 41% of their Serie A home games this season, a figure comfortably above the league average of 30%. However, they'll need to be alert from the first whistle, as Bologna have a habit of starting strong on their travels, drawing first blood in 53% of their away league matches, compared to the average of 43%.
The stakes are incredibly high for both teams. Bologna arrive in seventh place, a mere point adrift of the coveted Champions League spots, highlighting the intense battle for top-four qualification in Serie A.
For AC Milan, the path to European football next season is steeper. Sitting six points below sixth position with only three games remaining, they know that nothing less than a victory will suffice to keep their hopes alive.
This encounter promises to be a fascinating tactical battle with significant implications for both sides' European aspirations.
The focus of the above average values lays on AC Milan's home matches and Bologna's away matches played this season in the league.

Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the Goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
