Comments and predictions for Bologna vs Inter Milan: The underdog rewrites the script

Latest Bologna vs Inter Milan squad information

Coach Simone Inzaghi is likely to rotate his Inter squad on Sunday, after a midweek stint with key players such as Marko Arnautovic – the former Bologna striker – ready to start.

Arnautovic scored 24 goals in 54 Serie A games for Bologna and has been in fine form. He will compete with Mehdi Taremi and Joaquin Correa for a starting spot, should Lautaro Martinez or Marcus Thuram be rested.

Inter are currently only missing Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries – but Dumfries is edging closer to a return.

On the home side, Bologna will continue to be without Lewis Ferguson, Davide Calabria and number one goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski. In addition, centre-back Nicolo Casale is also uncertain about recovering from a shoulder injury.

Emil Holm and Lorenzo De Silvestri will compete for the right-back spot to replace Calabria, while Federico Ravaglia is likely to start.

Up front, Santiago Castro and Thijs Dallinga continue to compete for the striker position, with support from top scorer Riccardo Orsolini and Swiss winger Dan Ndoye.

Ndoye scored the extra-time winner against Inter in last season's Coppa Italia, and this time he is aiming to become the first Bologna player in the 21st century to score in five consecutive home Serie A games.

Latest predicted lineup Bologna vs Inter Milan

Bologna:
Ravaglia; Holm, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Aebischer; Orsolini, Odgaard, Ndoye; Castro

Inter Milan:
Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Zalewski, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Arnautovic

Latest football commentary Bologna vs Inter Milan

Leading 2-1 after a dramatic first leg in Germany, Inter Milan successfully overturned a deficit in the return leg at the San Siro on Wednesday, winning 4-3 on aggregate against the Bundesliga champions.

Captain Lautaro Martinez and former Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard both scored within three minutes of each other to set up a mouth-watering semi-final against La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Runners-up in the Champions League two years ago, Inter – three-time European champions – are now dreaming of a treble. Next week, they play their Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against city rivals AC Milan. In Serie A, Simone Inzaghi’s side are still top of the table, with Napoli the last major obstacle in their race to defend the Scudetto.

Inter are now unbeaten in 13 games in a row in all competitions. Last weekend they comfortably beat Cagliari 3-1 at home – Martinez was on target again, showing that he is back in top form.

With this result, Inter have now passed the 70-goal mark at this stage of the Serie A season – only the third time in 60 years they have done so. Inter are averaging more than two goals per game this season.

However, after a run of eight consecutive away wins (including seven clean sheets), the Nerazzurri have won just one of their last six domestic trips.

With their squad gradually affected by age and injury, their away form has dipped significantly – they are 10th in the away table – and winning against Bologna at the Dall'Ara promises to be no easy task.

Since the crushing 1-6 defeat at the end of 2022, Bologna have become a much tougher opponent for Inter, losing just one of their last four meetings in league and cup.

A thrilling 2-2 draw in January kicked off an impressive run of form for the Emiliano side, which has seen them reach the Coppa Italia semi-finals and climb into Serie A's top four.

A run of six consecutive wins in all competitions has seen Bologna edge closer to the cup final – where they could face Inter – but last weekend they were dealt a blow when they were beaten by Champions League rivals Atalanta in Bergamo.

Currently, coach Vincenzo Italiano's team is two points behind Juventus - the team ranked 4th - with only six rounds left.

With a tough remaining schedule – facing AC Milan, Fiorentina and Juventus themselves – Bologna cannot afford to lose back-to-back Serie A games for the first time since January 2023.

So Sunday's game will be crucial in terms of morale – especially if they can cause a shock against the leaders.
