Not that their come-from-behind 3-3 draw with Frosinone was something to be proud of, but it was better than the alternative. Regardless, that result—combined with Sassuolo's 1-0 win over Hellas Verona—saw Milan relinquish the all-important sixth place in the standings. They now trail the Neroverdi by a point with only two matches to go. This is a major problem. The prospect of beating the five-time defending champions of Italy in the Coppa final is a daunting one—the Bianconeri have already beaten Milan twice this year. Now they have two rounds to regain sixth place. That quest starts in Bologna. In one way, Milan have found a soft landing.

Menez's late penalty gave Milan a draw late against Frosinone. Marco Luzzani/Getty ImagesFor Milan, they key will be Jeremy Menez—in a different position than you might think. If Brocchi's statements from the Frosinone game are truly an indication that he's going to abandon the trequartista, Mihajlovic's 4-4-2 is the obvious alternative. But Bonaventura's absence will require a tweak to that formation as well. He manned the left side of the midfield in that system and there aren't many players on the roster who can replace him there. Indeed, Menez may be the only one. He started last year as a false nine in Filippo Inzaghi's 4-3-3, but after Destro was acquired on loan from Roma to be a more traditional striker, he was moved to the wing, where he remained for the rest of the season. Menez's ability to play wide could be a key for Brocchi.

They've only managed to score 33 times this season. During that February-to-May period, they were shut out nine times in 14 games and only scored multiple goals once. With a defense that is actually in the top half of the league—they're ninth, having conceded 44 times—a bigger scoring punch would make this a dangerous team. As they are, without striker Mattia Destro, scoring will be their biggest problem. The question in this match is whether Milan will be able to take advantage of that. They started brightly in the wake of the dismissal of coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, winning newly promoted Cristian Brocchi's first game 1-0 over Sampdoria.

DOUBTFUL: MF Godfred Donsah (muscle injury), CB Domenico Maietta (thigh). AC Milan: OUT: FW M'Baye Niang (ankle), MF Giacomo Bonaventura (hip), LB Luca Antonelli (calf)Key PlayersGiaccherini was the difference in January. Marco Luzzani/Getty ImagesScoring goals is Bologna's major weakness. Only 10 players have netted this year for the Rossoblu, and only two have scored more than four. Without leading scorer Destro, much of their effort to get to goal will hinge on Emanuele Giaccherini. The former Juventus man is on loan at Bologna from Sunderland, and he's been a huge part of their season. He's scored seven times, and, according to WhoScored. com he's completed 80 percent of his passes and made 1.

That would require tweaks itself, but his statements indicate he's leaning in that direction. Whatever he does, he needs to claim all three points. With red-hot AS Roma looming and Sassuolo facing a run-in of Verona and Inter Milan, the possibility of losing out on that sixth position is very real.

4 key passes per match. The Italy international played a decisive role in the first meeting between Bologna and Milan in the first game back from the winter break in January. In the 82nd minute, Giaccherini controlled a cross and fired the ball through the legs of Gianluigi Donnarumma to score the only goal of the game. It was a jarring opening to 2016 for Milan, who were left scrambling for answers after a negative result right out of the holidays. With Destro sidelined and replaced by Sergio Floccari, Giaccherini will be a major part of their efforts to get the ball past Donnarumma. If he can win his battle with Ignazio Abate on the attacking left, he could prove to be decisive.
