Returning to winning ways after losing 4-3 at home to Club Brugge in their midweek Champions League clash, Inter travel to the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara to face Bologna on Saturday. Despite another disappointing result in Europe, the Serie A champions lead the domestic championship after six rounds.
Apart from a dramatic 2-2 draw with Roma during the international break, Cristian Chivu’s charges have won all five of their remaining league games this season, including last weekend’s 3-0 defeat by Parma. However, there is no room for complacency as they sit level on points with early surprise package Lazio ahead of Saturday’s kick-off.
In contrast, Bologna had a difficult start to the season, picking up just two points from the first five matchdays (D2, L3). It sent a signal to the club that it was time for new boss Domenico Tedesco to go, with Raffaele Palladino taking his place in the dugout ahead of the international break. The change quickly paid off as the Rossoblu won 2-1 over Lecce on their Italian away debut last time out.
Having enjoyed last weekend’s victory, Bologna fans will be looking forward to Inter’s visit, knowing that the Neradzurri have won just one of the last five Serie A meetings between the sides (D2, L2).

Without further ado, let’s see how this clash might play out.
Full time result
Bologna may not be at their best at the start of the 2026/27 season, but they have established themselves as a tough proposition at the Dall’Ara. A 1-1 draw with Torino in Palladino’s first leg means they have shared the spoils in four of their last five home league appearances (M1), suggesting they may not go down without a fight even against superior opposition like Inter.
Adding to that sentiment, Bologna have won three of their last five home meetings with the Nerazzurri (D1, L1). Even if the odds suggest otherwise, another surprising result could be on the cards, especially given Inter’s travel sickness, with the reigning Scudetto holders winning just one of their last four away games in all competitions (D1, L2).
However, there is no doubt that Inter will go above and beyond to make up for another Champions League failure. Chivu’s men have lost four matches in a row in Europe’s top flight for the first time in the club’s history and will be eager to restore some good spirits on this trip. Again, it would be a mistake to leave bologna out of this.
Prediction: draw
Above/below the market
With Inter scoring at least two goals in five of their last six away league games, it’s reasonable to expect the visitors to pack a punch against Emilia-Romagna. Whether Bologna can hold up their end of the bargain is questionable as only four of their last 12 home league matches have seen both teams score.
Despite the home team’s poor start to the season, we expect this match to entertain the neutrals.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
