Stick with the form guide
Bologna have some bragging rights to take into the clash with Inter on Sunday after a thrilling 4-3 penalty shootout win over the Nerazzurri in the Super Cup just 12 days prior, but the form of both sides suggest that our Internazionale Milano vs Bologna F.C. prediction is that Inter should have enough to get the win on Sunday.
Inter have three wins in their last five and come into this Internazionale Milano vs Bologna F.C. prediction matchup with gritty away wins over Genoa and Atalanta in their most recent two Serie A matches.
Cristian Chivu has done a fine job since taking over as head coach in June 2025, instilling a balanced and flexible 3-5-2 system that can trigger an immediate pressing game or sit back and allow the wing-backs to push on.
Inter can be deadly on the break with Lautaro Martinez in the team and the Inter attacker is the current top scorer in Serie A with nine goals in 16 games.
This looks set to be a chess match between Inter and Bologna, and the Internazionale Milano vs Bologna F.C. preview suggests it may be a tightly contested affair.
Bologna are no strangers to a high-octane match, with Vincenzo Italiano creating a high-intensity pressing side that can be devastating on the transition.
Since taking over in June 2024, Italiano has overseen some impressive results for Bologna, including the Super Cup win over Inter.
Bologna to be bold against Inter
Bologna can be a little bit unpredictable, but they like to press and they like to get forward. That much was evident in the recent Super Cup game and they are likely to try to play a similar style against Inter on Sunday. Bologna will look to press Inter early and create turnovers in wide areas, as they did in that game, or on the counter-attack.
Bologna’s away form in Serie A is three wins, three draws and two defeats (W3, D3, L2), scoring 1.62 goals per away game on average and conceding 1.00 per away match, but they have enough attacking quality to cause problems for Inter at San Siro. This Internazionale Milano vs Bologna F.C. prediction is further supported by Inter’s six wins in eight home games in Serie A (W6, D2) and their average of 2.62 goals per home game. Bologna’s top scorer in Serie A is Riccardo Orsolini, who leads Serie A’s goal charts with six in 16 games, but Federico Bernardeschi has been in form recently, scoring two of Bologna’s last four goals.
The Internazionale Milano vs Bologna F.C. betting tips point towards Inter to win and over 2.5 match goals at 1.81 as the main selection for this game, with a 2-1 home win forming the correct score prediction. Inter have the superior firepower and are in superior form, but they have failed to win at home to Bologna in their last two attempts and the visitors are playing in a confident manner, so the game is likely to be open.
