Bologna’s quest for Champions League football has taken a hit in recent matches, a matter they’ll need addressed when they host Inter Milan. The two face off in the 33rd round in Serie A, Inter being top of the standings and Bologna fifth. Read on for our prediction of this match.
In their last two outings, Bologna have fallen short against fellow top-five sides. The team’s most recent league assignment ended in a 2-0 defeat at Atalanta, having earlier drawn 1-1 at home to Napoli.
Bologna now find themselves two points removed from the top four and at risk of dropping further, with Lazio and Roma lurking.
Inter Milan are coming off an explosive Champions League game against Bayern Munich, which saw four goals netted in 16 second-half minutes. The match ended 2-2 and saw Inter Milan progress to the semi-finals.
The visitors were never promised calm times but will be hoping to be more in control here. They need that, as their closest challengers are just three points behind.
Three draws in their last five matches could signal pressure starting to mount as Inter go in search of a treble. Bologna remains an opponent they might face in the Coppa Italia final, so this could be an audition.
