AC Milan are four points off the Serie A title pace after going unbeaten in their first eight games.
On Wednesday, they face a Bologna side who have had a slow start to the season and who sit mid-table in Serie A after winning just two of their first eight matches.
The title race is already heating up in Italy, so Milan need to wrap up another win over these struggling opponents.

AC Milan v Bologna Prediction
Best Bet - AC Milan win to nil @ 7/4
AC Milan bounced back from a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the Europa League with Sunday's smooth 2-0 success over Udinese and they are fancied to win to nil again when they host Bologna.
Ruben Amorim's men have not had the best start to their European campaign, but five wins and three draws from their opening eight league games signal a solid return.
Only Lazio and Roma have conceded fewer goals than their seven, and they can put themselves in a good position for Saturday's derby clash with Inter by beating Bologna with minimal fuss.
The visitors have had a tough fixture list to start the season but their eight points from as many games leaves a bit to be desired.
Goals have been an issue for Raffaele Palladino's men, who have only netted eight times, and they may struggle to get anything from San Siro, so take the Rossoneri to win this one to nil.
Alternative Bet - Alphadjo Cisse to score at any time @ 2/1
One of this Milan team's biggest surprises has been Alphadjo Cisse's form, who has scored five goals in nine games across all competitions this season.
The youngster has cemented himself in Amorim's plans, and only Goncalo Ramos has had more shots or shots on target than the Italian.
With the Rossoneri expected to dominate, Cisse looks a tempting price to get on the scoresheet once again.
AC Milan v Bologna Bet Builder Tip
Under 3.5 goals
Lewis Ferguson to be shown a card
Artem Dovbyk to have a shot on target
Pays 33/4
Games between these two teams tend to be tight, with only two of the last 10 going over 3.5 goals.
Considering Bologna's issues in front of goal, that run looks set to continue.
Lewis Ferguson has already committed 19 fouls in Serie A this season, and the Scottish midfielder is likely to be busy against a tricky Milan side.
He was carded seven times last season and could pick up his first of the new campaign.
Artem Dovbyk has been eased into this loan spell at Bologna since arriving from Roma but could lead the line here and has already netted in a cameo appearance against Sassuolo.
The Ukrainian looks a decent price for a shot on target.
