Serie A midweek fixtures and team updates

Overview

Midweek Serie A fixtures involve several Italian clubs facing various challenges. AC Milan, currently fourth in the standings with 18 points and undefeated under manager Ruben Amorim, prepares to host Bologna at San Siro on October 28, 2026. Milan enters the match following consecutive domestic victories against Atalanta and Udinese, seeking a third consecutive league win to close the gap on leaders Inter Milan ahead of the upcoming Derby della Madonnina.

The club is managing a significant injury crisis with players including Adrien Rabiot, Diego Moreira, and Mario Gila unavailable. To manage workloads and ensure availability for the derby, reports suggest Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic may be rested or start on the bench.

Bologna, sitting in 13th place with eight points, enters the match following a 2-0 victory over Cagliari. Manager Raffaele Palladino is expected to implement tactical rotations to manage player fatigue, considering options such as Jens Odgaard and Artem Dovbyk.

In the matchup between Monza and Napoli at the U Power stadium, Napoli sits tenth with 11 points. The team is looking to recover from a recent 3-3 draw against Roma and regain ground in the race for a top-four finish. Napoli is managing absences including Alessandro Buongiorno, David Neres, and Leonardo Spinazzola, while manager Massimiliano Allegri serves a two-match suspension. Club representatives have noted a lack of “fundamental solidity,” and the team is looking for a return to form from striker Rasmus Højlund.

Monza, in 15th place with 8 points, aims to build on recent home successes and a victory against Torino under manager Ivan Juric, relying heavily on top scorer Gustavo Varela, who has recorded seven goals in seven matches.
