AC Milan and Bologna lock horns in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday night at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in Rome, with both sides chasing a long-awaited piece of domestic silverware and a route back into European competition.
With Milan last winning the Coppa Italia in 2003, and Bologna not since 1974, this is a historic shot at glory for two sides who’ve battled through contrasting seasons but now stand just 90 minutes from triumph.
🔴⚫Milan Aim to Lift Elusive Trophy & Book European Spot| Milan Win = 2.98💵
Milan entered the final on a four-match winning streak across all competitions— their best run in over a year— by securing a thrilling 3-1 comeback win over Bologna last week in Serie A.
That form reflects a tactical shift under Sergio Conceicao that sparked late-season life, and now it’s presented them with another route to Europe as a victory in the Coppa Italia final would secure a spot in the Europa League.
With Supercoppa Italiana glory already secured in January, the Rossoneri seek a rare domestic double and are undefeated in their last five Coppa Italia matches. They also knocked out rivals Inter in the semis (4-1 agg), adding fire to their title pursuit.
🔵🔴Bologna Hoping for First Coppa in 51 Years & More| Bologna Win = 2.65💵
Bologna’s impressive run to the final has lifted the club into rarefied territory. Their path included a 5-1 semi-final demolition of Empoli and a shock victory over Atalanta, highlighting their attacking depth and ability to take chances.
Despite recent Serie A stumbles, including a 3-1 loss to Milan on Friday, Vincenzo Italiano’s team is unbeaten in all four Coppa Italia matches this season and remains unpredictable, especially with players like Riccardo Orsolini and Thijs Dallinga in form.
The Rossoblu are seeking just their third Coppa Italia triumph. With Champions League qualification now in jeopardy, winning this title could offer a dramatic shortcut to European football and complete a fairytale season.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
AC Milan’s 3-4-2-1 formation will be spearheaded by Gimenez or Tammy Abraham, supported by the duo of Leão (returning after serving a suspension) and Pulisic.
Fikayo Tomori is fit again to start, while only Bondo (ankle) and Sottil (thigh) are confirmed absentees.
For Bologna, Thijs Dallinga will lead the front line, with Riccardo Orsolini—15 goals this season—cutting in from the right. Dan Ndoye, Cambiaghi and Dominguez are options for the left, while Emil Holm returns at right-back to reinforce the defence.
