Milan’s season has taken a downward turn, with back-to-back defeats compounding a frustrating European exit. After throwing away a victory against injury-hit Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League playoffs, they suffered a painful 2-1 Serie A loss to Torino last Saturday.

Bologna possible starting lineup: Skorupski; Calabria, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Moro; Orsolini, Pobega, Ndoye; Castro

AC Milan possible starting lineup: Maignan; Jimenez, Tomori, Pavlovic, Hernandez; Fofana, Musah; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao; Gimenez

Bologna defended the decision through their CEO, but it would be fair to say Milan did not. The Rossoneri and Lega Serie A were in favour or playing the match behind closed doors or moving it to a neutral ground, and at one point Milan had plans in place for four different trips.

Nonetheless, here we are at the end of February, with a gap in the schedule finally having opened up to play the game. However, Milan and Bologna come into it in much different circumstances this time, hoping to give meaning to a troubled campaign.

In terms of predictions, many analysts favor an AC Milan victory due to their superior track record against Bologna. Although injuries have plagued the squad—most notably affecting players like Walker and Loftus-Cheek—their overall depth may compensate for these absences. Conversely, Bologna will also miss key players due to injury but will rely on Riccardo Orsolini to make an impact. The predicted score varies among experts; while some anticipate a narrow victory for Milan, others foresee a draw given both teams' recent struggles .

For fans eager to follow the match live, various broadcasting options will be available depending on geographic location. While specific free live streaming options were not detailed in the articles reviewed , platforms typically offering such services can provide access. As this European clash unfolds on February 28th, spectators can expect an engaging contest reflective of Serie A's competitive nature.
