Side by side on three points from two Serie A matches, AC Milan and Bologna will meet at San Siro on Sunday evening.
Both clubs got their first league win just before the international break, and now they reconvene for the first time since May's Coppa Italia final.
Keen to make amends for a slow start, Milan sought their first Serie A success of the season when visiting Lecce at Via del Mare last time out.
The Rossoneri's opening-day defeat to newly promoted Cremonese - who scored twice from three attempts on target - had set them off on the wrong foot, but they avoided another embarrassing setback down south.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek eased their nerves by scoring midway through the second half, before Christian Pulisic stayed cool to slot home with time running out, wrapping up maximum points.
Experienced manager Massimiliano Allegri has been brought back to add stability following a campaign of chaos, in which the Rossoneri sacked two coaches and only finished eighth, so he now needs to bed several new players into a remodelled squad.
Following a frantic summer in the transfer market, fighting for a top-four spot is Milan's main target - particularly after failing to qualify for any European competition last term, when they also lost the Coppa Italia final.
