Insights:
  • Bologna have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.

It's no vacation for neither Bologna nor Inter as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Bologna form and stats

7-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Bologna so far this season.

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Udinese last time out and are looking for a win here. Sansone was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Udinese after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Midfield player Soriano got a match rating of 7.63 in that game, the max score being 10. Soriano hit three key passes and had 33 successful passes (of 41 total).

1-1 away at Juventus before that.

There will be little rest for Bologna after this match as they are travelling to Roma for a Serie A game in only four days.

Bologna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 17 games. Bologna have conceded 20 in these home matches.

Inter form and stats

Inter's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Inter collect 33 points from their 16 away matches in the Serie A. 9 victories and 6 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). Inter are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eleven in a row without losing.

Impressive finishing from Dumfries, Brozović and Martínez secured the home win 3-1 against Roma in their previous game. Martínez has scored at least one goal for the away side three games in a row. The know-how! Çalhanoğlu got a match rating of 8.2 in that game, top player of the team. Çalhanoğlu signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and had 44 successful passes (of 49 total).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Inter manager Inzaghi as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Udinese.

Inter are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 30 times in 16 away games so far. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (12 so far).

Head 2 Head

The duelists have met earlier this season: Inter - Bologna 6-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - one - seven (Bologna wins - draws - Inter wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
