Bologna and Inter Milan will square off in the first match of this intermediate Serie A round, with both teams desperate for points, but for different reasons.
With 7 losses in 9 games, Bologna is sitting second to last in the Serie A and relegation seems like a real probability looking at the way the team is playing. The hosts finally managed to get a result after 4 consecutive losses last round, but it was as unimpressive as the only other result they got this season (a lucky 1-0 home win over Frosinone in September). It was a 2-1 win in Carpi on Saturday thanks to a 94th minute winning goal.
Inter is on the back of three consecutive draws and has not won in the last 4 matches, but this statistic can be explained when you think about the opposition Inter faced – Fiorentina, Sampdoria, Juventus and Palermo. After starting the season on fire, Inter could, in a way, afford to lose all these points, but it stops now. The Nerazzurri finally have an accessible game and it`s time to get back on track. Anything else than a win could send the visitors into crisis.

Bologna avoided losing in just two matches this season, both times with a lot of luck and grind and against arguably the weakest teams in the league. The hosts are looking really bad right now and I reckon that a hungry Inter Milan side will capitalize on Bologna’s weaknesses to get 3 crucial points. The visitors are looking good under Mancini this season, they played decent football lately despite the poor statistics and surely have what it takes to get a winning result.
This is a duel between the worst offense and the best defense in Serie A, so Bologna is not expected to score, while Inter will surely create some solid chances over the 90 minuts. It really seems unlikely that this Bologna team can get two results in a row. My tip is Inter Milan to win. Prediction: Bologna – Inter Milan 0-2.
