Milan vs Bologna

Milan host Bologna in Serie A. This preview compares historical records dated before the prediction was locked with the model's pre-match probabilities. Probabilities describe estimated outcomes, not guaranteed results.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, Milan collected 11 points (3 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Bologna earned 7 points from 5 matches (2 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, Milan have 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Bologna have 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses across 5 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, Milan average 2.06 xG and 1.11 xGA over 5 recent matches; Bologna average 1.16 xG and 1.47 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Milan in position 4 and Bologna in position 12. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

The database contains 5 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Bologna won 4–2 away to Milan. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.71 for Milan and 1.88 for Bologna. Bologna generated the higher xG total. Milan scored +0.29 goals relative to xG and Bologna scored +2.12 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Milan registered 8 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 37.5%); Bologna recorded 9 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 55.6%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (55.0%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
