After 18 games they sit in second place with 13 wins, one loss and four draws. Those matches have left them with 43 points, four points behind Serie A leaders Atalanta put they do have a game in hand over them. Stepping up this season for I Nerazzurri has been striker Marcus Thuram. He is relishing in his second season in Milan, almost matching his total last year by New Year’s Day. Thuram has found the back of the net 12 times, making him the joint top scorer in the league, sharing that tally with Atalanta’s Mateo Reteugi.

Predicted Line-Up: Lukasz Skorupski; Juan Miranda, Nicolò Casale, Sam Beukema, Emil Holm; Tommaso Pobega, Remo Freuler; Benja Domínguez, Lewis Ferguson (c), Ricciardo Orsolini; Santiago Castro

Bologna, like their opponents, have also had a great start to the season. They are on their way to try and match their best finish of the last 10 years, which they did last season, finding themselves just outside the European places so early on in the campaign. After 18 games they sit in seventh place with seven wins, three losses and eight draws. Those matches have left them with 29 points with a win and results going their way across the Serie A and they could be in the UEFA Conference League qualifying spot. They also have managed to be ahead of AC Milan, another impressive feat to show this season. In the goals for I Rossoblù has been striker Santiago Castro. The Argentine has provided eight goal contributions, split into four goals and four assists. Castro will likely be the difference maker this Wednesday as he has put out some exciting displays this season but playing Italian giants Inter Milan might prove a challenge.
