Bologna vs Inter Milan

Stadio Renato Dall’Ara is the venue as fourth-placed Bologna and runaway leaders Inter Milan lock horns in a tasty-looking Serie A fixture.

Bologna’s dream Serie A campaign continued with a come-from-behind 2-1 win at Atalanta last weekend, preserving their four-point lead on fifth-placed Roma. Thiago Motta’s men head into proceedings amid a purple patch, having won six consecutive league matches since a gutsy 2-2 draw at Milan in January. More importantly, ‘I Rossoblu’ are firing on all cylinders again, bagging 2+ goals in their last seven Serie A assignment. That was also the case in a comeback 2-2 stalemate in October’s reverse fixture before Bologna stunned back-to-back Coppa Italia winners in the competition’s round of 16 in December. Those results increase the hosts’ ambition to beat Inter in three consecutive home league H2Hs for the first time in the 21st century and take another massive step to a historic top-four finish.

Keen to stop them in their tracks, Inter Milan enter this round amid a 100% win record in 2024. Simone Inzaghi’s side squeezed past Genoa 2-1 at home last weekend, taking advantage of Juventus’ slip-up to extend the gap at the top to 15 points. One step away from lifting a landmark 20th Scudetto, ‘I Nerazzurri’ might have already switched their attention toward the upcoming Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid. But they’ll be out to preserve their near-perfect away record in Serie A this term (W11, D2) and settle the score with Bologna after a gut-wrenching Coppa Italia elimination. Winning all four away league games this calendar year by a combined score of 14-3 will inspire further confidence around Simone Inzaghi’s camp.
