AC Milan have had a difficult season as Sergio Conceicao’s side sit 8th in the Serie A table, but the Coppa Italia offers a chance for the Milan side to pick up silverware. On the other hand, Bologna have been a surprise package this season, sitting in 7th and one place above their opponents.

• AC Milan have conceded three goals in their last five matches

Their opponents, Bologna, have surprised many as they contend for European qualification in Italy. Picking up two wins and two draws in their last five games, Bologna continues to put points on the board when it matters. But the last time out was a 3-1 defeat against Milan - Wednesday’s opponents.
