Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna
📊 Match Insights
Inter Milan will look to bounce back from a disappointing European defeat when they face Bologna in Serie A on Saturday evening at Stadio Dall'Ara.
Despite their struggles in the Champions League, Inter remains a powerhouse in Italian football. In their recent match against Club Brugge, both teams were in search of their first points in this season's tournament. However, the Nerazzurri suffered a surprising 4-3 defeat at home, with Lautaro Martinez scoring twice, but Nicolo Tresoldi stole the spotlight.
This loss left Inter without any points after two matches in the group stage, and to make matters worse, Martinez picked up an injury that may sideline him for about a month. After experiencing a club-record four straight losses in European competitions, Cristian Chivu's squad aims to return to form in Serie A.
Last week, the reigning champions secured a solid 3-0 victory over Parma and have only dropped two points this season. They remain unbeaten and are currently tied with the unexpected contender, Lazio, at the top of the league.
However, Inter's recent encounters with Bologna have been challenging; they have won just three of their last nine league clashes, which includes a wild 3-3 draw away from home in May. Bologna also triumphed in the penalty shootout during last season's Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Inter, indicating a competitive rivalry.
Much has changed for both teams since their last meeting, setting the stage for what promises to be an intriguing match.
