AC Milan vs Bologna: Outgoing Milan Manager Look to Lift First Rossoneri Double Since 2008 & Secure Europa Qualification in Coppa Final

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.

AC Milan Players Celebrating Goal

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 Celebrating a Goal

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.

Liverpool vs Arsenal: ‘Winless Since 2012’ - Gunners Venture Giving Fans Something to Smile about after UCL Heartbreak in Anfield Visit

Liverpool vs Arsenal: ‘Winless Since 2012’ - Gunners Venture Giving Fans Something to Smile about after UCL Heartbreak in Anfield Visit

Premier League champions Liverpool welcome Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday for a top-of-the-table clash that will have not only points vital for the Gunners but also pride at stake.

While Arne Slot's men have already sealed the title, Arsenal arrive with Champions League qualification still hanging in the balance. Anfield, however, hasn’t been a kind place to them for over a decade.

🔴🔴Liverpool Out to Finish Strong as Farewell Tour Begins | Home Win = 2.10💵

The Reds may have suffered a 3-1 loss at Chelsea last week, but with the league title already secured, their focus has shifted to hitting the 90-point mark and giving departing stars a worthy send-off.

Arne Slot's side is gunning for an eighth consecutive home league win. They've netted at least twice in 14 of their last 15 home games since a shock September loss to Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool Players Celebrating a Goal

This clash marks the penultimate home game for Real Madrid-bound Trent Alexander-Arnold and a few other players who might be headed elsewhere after this season.

🔴⚪Arsenal Hope to Give Gunners Something to Smile About | Away Win = 3.71💵

Arsenal Players Celebrating a Goal

Arsenal are in danger of slipping out of the top four following three straight defeats, including a painful 3-1 UCL semi-final aggregate loss to PSG that extended their European drought.

The Gunners have now dropped 21 points from winning positions—tied for their worst-ever mark in a Premier League season. Their recent form has undone much of their earlier campaign momentum.

Last image from Liverpool vs Arsenal Clash

They haven’t won at Anfield since 2012, and despite a five-game unbeaten run vs Liverpool in the league, this could be their toughest test yet, given their fragile confidence and Liverpool’s form at home.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰

Liverpool are missing Joe Gomez (hamstring) and Tyler Morton (shoulder), but otherwise boast a clean bill of health.

Van Dijk is set to become just the fourth Dutchman with 300 Premier League appearances. TAA is expected to start from the bench.

Arsenal welcome back Calafiori, who may start over the tired Lewis-Skelly. However, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhães, Tomiyasu, and Havertz remain sidelined, limiting Mikel Arteta’s options.

Fiorentina vs Real Betis: Final Before Final – Winner Likely Faces Chelsea; Will Italians Make 3rd Final or Will Anthony’s Betis Make First?

Fiorentina return to Stadio Artemio Franchi on Thursday needing to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit in their UEFA Conference League semifinal against an in-form Real Betis.

The Italians are aiming to reach a third consecutive Conference League final, while Betis chase a first-ever appearance in a European final after their gritty win in Seville last week.

🟣Fiorentina Hope to Complete Comeback | Home Win = 2.29💵

Fiorentina Players Celebrating a Goal

Despite trailing after the first leg, Fiorentina remain very much in the tie thanks to captain Luca Ranieri’s crucial away goal. The Viola have shown resilience throughout this European campaign and will bank on their home crowd to lift them.

Raffaele Palladino’s side suffered a 1-0 Serie A defeat to Roma on Sunday, failing to score despite good chances from Moise Kean and Rolando Mandragora. Pressure is mounting, but their record of back-to-back finals speaks to their knockout pedigree.

Real Betis Players Celebrating a Goal

💚Real Betis Aim to Seal First Final | Away Win = 3.17💵

Real Betis come into this clash full of confidence, unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 matches across all competitions. Goals from Abde Ezzalzouli and Antony handed them the edge in the first leg, and another late winner followed in their 2-1 La Liga victory over Espanyol.

Sitting sixth in La Liga, just one point off the top five, Manuel Pellegrini’s side are in red-hot form and eager to finally make their mark in Europe after watching rivals Sevilla lift trophy after trophy.

Image from the last Fiorentina vs Real Betis Encounter

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Fiorentina will welcome back suspended captain Luca Ranieri to the backline, with Pablo Mari unavailable in Europe. Moise Kean is expected to lead the line again, possibly alongside Albert Gudmundsson or Lucas Beltran.

Danilo Cataldi is a doubt due to a thigh issue, but right-winger Dodo has recovered from surgery and could start. Palladino will likely revert to a full-strength XI after weekend squad rotation.

Image from the last Fiorentina vs Real Betis Encounter

Real Betis, meanwhile, are still without key trio Chimy Avila, Marc Roca, and Diego Llorente due to injury. Antony is a sure starter after goals in both the first leg and against Espanyol, while Isco, boasting 11 goals and eight assists, remains the team’s creative heartbeat.

Cedric Bakambu and Ezzalzouli are in line for attacking roles, with the Moroccan likely to get the nod again after impressing in the first leg.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 3.50💵
