Time for another substituion and Orsolini is now entering the game in place of Poli.

We are now underway in Bologna!
Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the Serie A match between Bologna and AC Milan. The home side will be looking to climb out of the relegation zone this evening, but they must get past fourth-placed Milan if they are to do so.
Three points tonight will see Bologna move up to 17th in the Serie A table but Milan are on a good run of late, only losing one of their last five matches.
Rustiness could be an issue for Filippo Inzaghi's men, with Bologna last playing on the 9th of December. They were beaten by Empoli on that occasion and they will need to raise their game this evening.
SUBS: Diego Falcinelli, Antonio Santurro, Giancarlo Gonzalez, Riccardo Orsolini, Mattia Destro, Nehuen Paz, Sebastien De Maio, Orji Okwonkwo, Angelo Da Costa, Blerim Dzemaili, Godfred Donsah, Ladislav Krejci.
SUBS: Antonio Donnarumma, Mateo Musacchio, Samu Castillejo, Jose Reina, Diego Laxalt, Alen Halilovic, Riccardo Montolivo, Andrea Conte, Jose Mauri, Frank Tsadjout, Ignazio Abate, Andrea Bertolacci.
BOLOGNA (3-5-2): Lukasz Skorupski; Arturo Calabresi, Danilo, Filip Helander; Federico Mattiello, Andrea Poli (c), Adam Nagy, Mattias Svanberg, Ibrahima Mbaye; Federico Santander, Rodrigo Palacio.
The two teams are making their way onto the field.
The referee brings the first half to an end as soon as the 45 minutes are up. That shows how bad the action has been in Bologna, but the home side will be happy after keeping Milan at bay. Higuain has tried his luck on two occasions, while Palacio was denied by a fine save from Donnarumma.
Both teams need to improve in the second half, but it is Milan that will need to push further forward. Gattuso's troops have been very flat so far but they need to bring Calhanoglu and Suso into the game more. Cutrone has barely registered a shot and Bologna need to put more pressure on the home defence.
That is all for tonight's coverage, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
