Inter – Bologna

Inter will be host to Bologna at San Siro on 5 April in the 32nd round of the Italian Serie A.

The home team is on the 5th spot in the Serie A and will try to protect that european spot in this ending part of the season. Inter is not playing too good lately as they did not win in the last three rounds: just 2 draws and 1 loss against teams like Atalanta, Udinese and Livorno. Last round Inter had 2-0 advantage over Livorno but failed to protect it and ended up drawing 2-2. This time around Inter will hope to focus better and hosting a team like Bologna should help them to achieve their quest. Also Mazzari is blessed with a full squad to choose from, aside from Jonathan and Capagnaro who are questionable – so team news for Inter are great. Also worth mentioning is that long time Internazionale defender Cristian Chivu has retired this week because of repetead injuries.

Inter lineup: Handanovic – Rolando, Ranocchia, Jesus – Jonathan, Hernanes, Cambiasso, Alvarez, Nagatomo – Palacio, Icardi

Bologna is struggling big time at the moment and with just 1 point advantage over the first relegating position, it will be a very hard season end for the visitors – specially if they keep up this terrible form. Bologna lost the last two games and has won just 2 of 14 matches in 2014. The last two performances were atrocious for Bologna: 3-0 and 2-0 defeats to teams like Atalanta and Chievo are speaking for themselves. Bologna must hope to keep Inter scoreless today because their offensive game is horrible and has been so all season (24 goals scored in 31 matches). At least the team news for Bologna are very good: Della Rocca is the only absentee.

Bologna lineup: Curci – Antonsson, Natali, Cherubin – Garics, Perez, Krhin, Christodoulopoulos, Morleo – Kone – Cristaldo

Internazionale was playing well before these last 3 winless matches and even in these matches they showed good football at times but weren`t able to be consistent. At home against Bologna I reckon they will be able to do the job. Inter might not be the best and safest team to bet on these days on paper, but surely not this time – even for them it should be very hard do lose points against such a poor Bologna team. The visitors can`t score to save their lives and if they concede in the first half they will very likely be doomed. My tip will be Inter to win with -1,25 asian handicap because they have enough firepower to score 2 or 3 goals and also motivation; while conceding against Bologna looks very improbable. Correct score prediction: Inter – Bologna 2-0.

Pick: Internazionale (-1,25 Asian Handicap)
