This encounter pits a high-flying Internazionale against a Bologna side that has proven to be a bogey team for them in recent seasons. The tactical battle will be intriguing; Inter will look to control the tempo and utilize the full width of the pitch, while Bologna will aim to remain defensively solid and hit on the break. The data points to an Inter victory, with their recent form (WLWWW) far superior to Bologna's (LWDWL). Furthermore, as league leaders, Inter have demonstrated consistent quality throughout the season. However, the head-to-head history cannot be ignored; Bologna has secured positive results in four of the last five meetings. The primary differentiating factor in this match will likely be squad health. Bologna's spine is weakened by the absences of goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski and midfielder Remo Freuler. Inter also has notable injuries, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu's creativity and Francesco Acerbi's defensive experience being significant losses. Nevertheless, Inter's squad possesses greater depth to cope with these absences. The betting markets reflect this, with Inter priced as firm favorites. While Bologna's home advantage and strong recent record in this fixture suggest they can be competitive and likely score, Inter's attacking firepower, led by Lautaro Martínez, should be enough to overcome a weakened opponent and claim all three points in what could be an entertaining match.
