Bologna vs Inter Milan: Current Form and Team News
Bologna: Can the Rossoblù Upset the League Leaders?
Bologna finally secured their first Serie A victory of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Lecce, ending a six-match winless start (D2, L3 before that victory).
Under new manager Raffaele Palladino, Bologna are showing signs of improvement, remaining unbeaten in their last two matches (W1, D1).
Their home form could prove crucial, as they drew four of their previous five home matches. However, facing the league leaders will be a much tougher challenge.
Injury concerns could complicate Bologna’s preparations, with Riccardo Orsolini, Arthur Theate and Samuel Mbangula all doubtful.
Inter Milan: A Crucial Response Needed
Inter Milan arrive in Bologna following a dramatic 4-3 Champions League defeat to Club Brugge, extending their European losing streak to four matches.
Despite that setback, Cristian Chivu’s side remain top of Serie A, though just two points separate the top three.
Inter’s away form has been inconsistent, with only one victory in their last four competitive trips (D2, L1). Nevertheless, their attacking numbers remain encouraging, as they have scored at least twice in five of their previous six away league matches.
The absence of Lautaro MartÃnez, who faces an extended spell on the sidelines, is a significant blow. Ange-Yoan Bonny could play an important role in Inter’s attacking plans.

Ange-Yoan Bonny – Inter Milan
Bonny scored against Club Brugge in midweek and has demonstrated a knack for late goals. Five of his last six club goals have arrived after the 60th minute, making him a potential match-winner.
