Bologna duo convinced mid-week success will ‘benefit’ them against Milan

Bologna midfielders Tommaso Pobega and Lewis Ferguson are both looking forward to the game against AC Milan, which is scheduled for Tuesday. 

Bologna participated in some mid-week action as they faced Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League, winning the game 3-0. That earned them a good position ahead of the knockout phase play-offs, drawn against the Norwegian side Brann for the two-legged tie.

After three games without a win, it was also a much-needed confidence boost for the team. Scottish midfielder Lewis Ferguson (via MilanPress) and the former Milan man Tommaso Pobega (also via MilanPress) said as much after the game.

Ferguson: “This win will also benefit the team in the league. On Tuesday, Milan are coming to the Dall’Ara, where we have been missing a win for a while. We want to put in a great performance and take home the three points.”

Pobega: “On Tuesday, we will face Milan in the league. Like every match, we will need to prepare well, staying fully focused and using our strengths to limit theirs.”

Still, Milan are the favourites to come away with all three points. Inter, Napoli and Roma will all play before them, so the pressure will likely be on Massimiliano Allegri’s men to clinch a good result (and not just another draw).
