Round 18 - Serie A
Inter VS Bologna FC
San Siro
4 January, 2026
Overview:
Inter travel to Bologna for a Serie A meeting where Inter enter as the stronger, possession-oriented side with higher goal output, while Bologna are compact on transition and dangerous on set-pieces and wide delivery; recent H2H and mixed 2024–25 results (draws and narrow Bologna wins) suggest a competitive game with Inter favored but upset risk present.
Recent H2H results: Bologna 1-0 Inter (Apr 20, 2025); Inter 2-2 Bologna (Jan 15, 2025)
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Inter.
Inter likely to dominate possession and probe through central play and overlapping full-backs while Bologna will sit deeper, seek quick transitions and target set-pieces; tempo and pressing in midfield will decide openings.
Inter's superior attack and possession tilt probability toward them, but Bologna's recent H2H resilience and effectiveness on set-pieces keep upset probability meaningful.
