AC Milan's 3-0 win at Bologna extended their Serie A unbeaten run to 22 matches and keeps pressure on Inter — punters may back Milan in upcoming fixtures to avoid defeat or play Milan win-to-nil markets; both-teams-not-to-score and Milan moneyline bets look attractive given their clinical finishing and defensive control.
Milan cruise to 3-0 win at Bologna to extend unbeaten streak
AC Milan strengthened their title bid with a convincing 3-0 victory at Bologna, stretching their Serie A unbeaten run to 22 matches and closing the gap on city rival Inter. The Rossoneri bounced back from a 1-1 draw with Roma to reassert themselves in the title race.
Rabiot and Nkunku deliver decisive contributions
Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring in the 20th minute, finishing from an Adrien Rabiot assist. Christopher Nkunku converted a penalty after being fouled by Bologna goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia to make it 2-0. Rabiot sealed the win early in the second half with a left-footed strike in the 48th minute after intercepting a long throw-in.
Tactical control and game management
Milan controlled possession and exploited quick transitions, with midfield balance allowing full-backs to support the attack while maintaining defensive stability. Bologna struggled to create sustained pressure and paid for a costly defensive lapse that led to the penalty.
Standings impact and title implications
The victory keeps Milan within five points of Inter and, after 23 matches, places them four points clear of third-placed Napoli. The result reinforces Milan’s credentials as genuine challengers and ramps up pressure on Inter as the season approaches its business end.
Bologna fall while Milan press on
Bologna remain midtable in 10th, now 25 points off the pace, and will need to address defensive frailties if they are to climb the standings. Milan’s momentum makes them a tougher proposition for every opponent from here on.
Betting outlook
Milan’s recent form supports backing the Rossoneri in match-winner markets and win-to-nil options, given their ability to score and keep clean sheets.
For punters seeking value, both-teams-not-to-score or Milan to score two or more goals are logical plays, while cautious bettors might prefer Milan to avoid defeat (double chance) in upcoming fixtures.
