The team from “Renato Dall’Ara” slipped from fifth to ninth place last season and did not reach the playoffs in their debut Champions League campaign. However, they finished the season by winning the cup, and notably defeated Milan in the final.
This year, Bologna are competing in the Europa League, where they confidently advanced to the playoffs. Their cup run continues as they face Lazio next. In the Super Cup, however, they lost to Napoli in the final. Despite an optimistic start in Serie A, Bologna have barely won since mid-December. Against Genoa, they led 2-0 but ended up losing!
At “San Siro,” Milan suffered setbacks in the cup final, crashed out of the Champions League, and finished eighth in Serie A. Thus, in 2024/2025, only the Super Cup was secured. Under Allegri, the team has clearly improved—after the opening round, they haven’t lost in Serie A, keeping them in the title race. However, in the previous round they drew 1-1 with Roma. They also suffered defeats in the cup to Lazio and in the Super Cup to Napoli.
Italino’s side averages 1.45 goals per match scored and 1.23 conceded. Pulisic’s team scores 1.59 goals per game on average, conceding half as many—0.77.
