Bologna Preview – Can the hosts upset the leaders?
Sinisa Mihajlovic’s Bologna find themselves in mid-table as we kick off 2022. The Red and Blues have picked up eight wins from 19 games, drawing three and losing eight of the other 11. They have scored 27 and shipped 31 along the way.
Bologna ended 2021 with a much-needed win at Sassuolo. Mihajlovic’s side were superb on the road, with Riccardo Orsolini, Aaron Hickey and Federico Santander on target in the impressive 3-0 victory. That was a vital result for the club from Emilia-Romagna after three consecutive Serie A defeats.
Bologna have struggled on their own patch in recent months, losing four of the last six at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. Thursday’s clash against the champions will be another tough test. Still, can the Greyhounds cause an upset on home turf?
Inter Milan Preview – Eighth league victory on the spin for the champions?
Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan are having another sensational Serie A season. The Black and Blues sit proudly at the summit after winning 14 of their opening 19 fixtures. Only Lazio have beaten them in league action this term.
Since that defeat to Lazio in mid-October, Inzaghi’s troops are unbeaten in 11 Serie A matches, winning nine and drawing two. They drew 1-1 with rivals AC Milan in early November and have not dropped a point since.

Before the break, Inter closed out 2021 with a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Torino. In their last away match, the Milan giants won 5-0 at Salernitana. They should chalk up another three points on the road on Thursday.
Bologna vs Inter Milan Betting Advice
Inter have won the last three meetings, scoring ten goals to boot. In the reverse league fixture at the San Siro in September, Milan put six past sorry Bologna. An Edin Dzeko brace and efforts from Lautaro Martinez, Milan Skriniar, Nicolo Barella and Matias Vecino did the damage in that one.
When the teams last met at the Renato Dall’Ara, Inter nicked it by a goal to nil thanks to a Romelu Lukaku strike.
