Inter Milan have the chance to climb to the top of Serie A when they travel to Bologna for a rescheduled fixture on Wednesday. The hosts have been out of sorts in recent weeks and should be no match for the resurgent champions.
Bologna head into Wednesday’s clash off the back of a 2-2 home draw with Udinese in their previous Serie A fixture. They took an early lead through Aaron Hickey but fell behind just after the break before Nicola Sansone struck the equaliser.
That result means Bologna have claimed just one win from their last eight Serie A matches and also leaves them 13th on the table. Sitting seven points behind 10th place Sassuolo with five matches left to play, Sinisa Mihailovic’s men still have a chance of breaking into the top half.
Things are just as bad for Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, where they have claimed just two wins from their last nine Serie A matches. They often struggle against the big sides at home with defeats to Juventus, Napoli and Atalanta among their results in that run.
Inter Milan have fully recovered from their recent slump and travel to Bologna on a five match winning run across all competitions. Sitting two points off leaders AC Milan, they can reclaim top spot with a win on Wednesday.
The Nerazzurri showed their quality last time out in Serie A as they claimed a 3-1 home victory over Roma. They raced to a three-goal lead through Denzel Dumfries, Marcelo Brozovic and Lautaro Martinez before the capital club pulled one back.
Inter Milan are just as effective on their travels and are unbeaten in their last 11 away matches in Serie A. Simone Inzaghi’s men have won the last two fixtures in that run, including a 3-1 victory over Spezia in their previous fixture on the road.
