Bologna will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Atalanta.

In that match, Bologna managed 60% possession and 12 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Atalanta got 4 shots at goal with 2 on target. Mateo Retegui (3') and Mario Pašalić (21') scored for Atalanta.

Their latest results show that not much more can be done by the Bologna rearguard. Bologna have kept it tight, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their past six matches standing at 4. In any event, we will just have to wait and see whether that trend shall continue on in this match.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Bologna:

• haven't won against Inter Milan in their previous 3 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 8 league matches at home. A very good run at home.

🗞️ Team News: Bologna

Davide Calabria (Ankle sprain), Nicolò Casale (Shoulder injury), Lewis Ferguson (Hamstring injury) and Lukasz Skorupski (Adductor injury) aren’t available for Bologna boss Vincenzo Italiano.

It seems likely that Rossoblu will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation, beginning the first half with Federico Ravaglia, Emil Holm, Sam Beukema, Jhon Lucumi, C. Lykogiannis, Remo Freuler, Tommaso Pobega, Dan Ndoye, Jens Odgaard, Benjamin Dominguez and Santiago Castro.

🗞️ Team News: Inter Milan

Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Marcus Thuram (Muscle fatigue), Denzel Dumfries (Hamstring muscle injury), Piotr Zieliński (Calf muscle tear) and Valentín Carboni (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Nerazzurri seem likely to utilise a 3-5-2 system, starting Yann Sommer, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni, Nicola Zalewski, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolo Barella, Federico Dimarco, Marko Arnautovic and Lautaro Martinez.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Bologna might well have a job on their hands to put one past this Inter Milan side who we think will score at least once to put them ahead.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even contest with a 0-1 advantage for Inter Milan when the full-time whistle blows.

Let’s see.
