Bologna vs Milan - Football - Italy Serie A - Tip Preview

Probable starting eleven:

Bologna:
Colombo, Raggi, Portanova, Britos, Lanna; Busce, Mudingayi, Guana, Modesto; Gimenez; Di Vaio

Milan:
Abbiati, Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf; Beckham, Borriello, Ronaldinho

Milan is favorite here, but I think Bologna can stay unbeaten. First reason is Milan current form. Milan played good until the derby with Inter. It seems everything goes wrong then. Milan lost that game, although most of the game played with one player more (Sneider received red card in first half). It seems that game frustrate the players and ruin their confidence. After that Milan lost in Coppa Italia by Udinese at San Siro. Last week Milan played only 1:1 at home against Livorno. So, I think this will continue. Pato, Oddo and Onyewu are injured. The atmosphere in Milan squad is additional broke with some reports saying Milan lost the game against Inter because Ronaldinho organized a party for his friends just days before kick off. Of course Ronaldinho denieds that, but it is clear indicator of bad atmosphere at Milan.

And finally about Bologna. They are involved in relegation battle, but right now Bologna is in excellent run of four unbeaten games in a row. And among the opponents was even Fiorentina. Here are the results:

31.01. Chievo-Bologna 1:1 (0:1)
24.01. Bologna-Bari 2:1 (0:1)
20.01. Bologna-Atalanta 2:2 (2:1)
17.01. Fiorentina-Bologna 1:2 (0:2)

Couch Colomba is doing a great job since he took the team from Papadopolo. He has some injury concerns as Britos, keeeper Viviano, Mingazzini and Appiah are all out injured, but I think Bologna can stay unbeaten today.
