AC Milan vs Bologna preview - Ambrosini has eyes on the prize

AC Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini has urged his team-mates to remain focused heading into Sunday's game against Bologna.

The Rossoneri trail one point behind Serie A leaders Juventus with six rounds of games remaining.

Milan kept up the pressure on Juventus with a 1-0 at Chievo last time out.

That result allowed the Rossoneri to bounce back from their surprising 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina - a defeat which saw Juventus leapfrog them in the standings.

"The important thing right now is to play the last six games and to win them all," Ambrosini said.

"What the team needs to do is to remain focused.

"We have to do our job and wait for Juventus to drop some points along the way."

Milan will fancy their chances of taking maximum points this weekend.

The Rossoneri have suffered just two defeats at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium this season and they have the best backline in the competition when playing at home with just nine goals conceded in 15 games.

The Rossoneri, coached by Massimiliano Allegri, will be bolstered by the return of defender Daniele Bonera as well as midfielders Alberto Aquilani and Ambrosini from suspension.

Moreover, midfielders Djamel Mesbah and Mark van Bommel have recovered from their respective muscular injuries and could feature this weekend.

Bologna have suffered a blow ahead of tomorrow's game with news that goalkeeper Jean Francois Gillet will be out for three weeks with a thigh injury.

Gillet was hurt this week in training and will miss his team's next four games.

Federico Agliardi will replace Gillet in goal.

Bologna will be hoping to pick up where they left off in their 1-0 triumph over Cagliari last time out.

The result, courtesy of Alessandro Diamanti's goal, lifted Stefano Pioli's side to 12th place, six points clear of the drop zone with six games remaining.
