H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Bologna Team Overview
🔴 Last season, Bologna can rightfully call it one of their most successful in recent years. While they only finished ninth in the league and missed out on a Champions League spot, they did clinch the Coppa Italia-the club's first trophy in 51 years. This triumph earned the "Rossoblù" the right to compete in the Supercoppa Italiana. This season, Bologna continue to set high standards: after 15 rounds, they sit sixth in the standings with 25 points.
🔵 However, the team has recently slowed down noticeably. In their last five matches, Bologna have managed just two wins, with the slump beginning with a painful home defeat to Cremonese (1-3) on the first day of December. Last weekend, the "Rossoblù" again came away empty-handed, losing at home to Juventus (0-1)-one of their direct rivals in the battle for a Champions League spot. The result seemed fair: Bologna created almost nothing in attack, while the Turin side regularly found open spaces and had multiple chances to score.

Inter Milano Team Overview
🔵 Inter were the biggest underachievers in Italian football last season. The team contended for four trophies but ended up with none. Even the Italian Super Cup, which the Nerazzurri had claimed three times in a row, slipped through their fingers - they managed to lose to Milan (2-3) in the final despite leading 2-0 during the match. This season, Inter look far more stable. After 15 Serie A rounds, the team sits at the top of the table with 33 points, and in the Champions League, they remain among the leaders, underscoring their ambitions for major achievements.
⚫ Their recent match against Genoa (2-1) last weekend should bolster the Nerazzurri's confidence. Firstly, Inter secured an away victory against an opponent that had found excellent form following a managerial change and hadn't lost in five matches. Secondly, the team broke an unpleasant streak - Inter hadn't won in Genoa since 2020. Finally, this victory allowed the Milan side to take the lead in the league standings. Emotionally and psychologically, Inter are heading into the semifinals in a strong position.

Latest news
Bologna
📣 Following their 1-0 defeat to Juventus, Bologna's coach Vincenzo Italiano acknowledged the disappointing result but urged against hasty conclusions: "We played against a very strong team. We were in the match until the very end, but a set-piece decided it. It became tougher after the sending off, yet until that moment, we held our own. We lost, and it's a shame, but our journey continues-we have the Super Cup ahead, and we're proud of how we're approaching it... Castro played over 80 minutes in Vigo, and we returned home early in the morning, so it was physically challenging. This defeat shouldn't diminish us-Juventus are fighting for the top, and we continue to build our own path."
🚫 Bologna haven't avoided personnel issues. Lukasz Skorupski and Martin Vitik remain unavailable; both are sidelined until the end of December-the first-choice goalkeeper is recovering from a thigh injury, while the defender is dealing with a muscle problem. Remo Freuler has also been in the infirmary for some time and will return only in early January (shoulder injury). The status of Nicolo Casale remains uncertain as he is experiencing physical discomfort.
Inter Milano
📣 Following their 2-1 victory over Genoa, Inter's head coach Cristian Chivu emphasized his satisfaction with the team's performance and maturity: "I'll start with what's most important - the performance, not the standings. Genoa are always a tough opponent at home, but we got to work immediately and achieved the main goal - three points... People say Inter are the strongest team? Just five months ago, those same people were saying we'd finish eighth or tenth, that the team was 'finished.' A bit of consistency is needed: we fully understand what we're doing and continue to fight at the top."
🚫 Inter head into their next match with a significant list of absentees. Francesco Acerbi and Denzel Dumfries won't return until early January - Acerbi with a muscle injury and Dumfries with an ankle issue. Tomas Palacios and Hakan Calhanoglu are aiming for a late December return after a muscle injury and thigh problem respectively. Matteo Darmian's participation is in doubt, as is that of backup goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro, who is still recovering from a wrist fracture.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Despite their overall dominance in head-to-head encounters, Inter rarely keep a clean sheet against Bologna-in 8 of their last 9 meetings, the Nerazzurri have conceded. It's important to note that Bologna has only recently started climbing towards the top tier of Italian clubs, and this season, the Rossoblu seldom leave the pitch without scoring. Considering these factors, the most reasonable prediction would be a goal for Bologna.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Two of Serie A's best teams in terms of corner kicks are set to clash. Inter lead the league with an average of 7.2 corners per match, maintaining a significant gap over their closest rivals. Bologna also ranks in the top 5, averaging 5.4 corners per game. With such statistics, it's logical to expect frequent trips to the corner flag in the upcoming match. In their last head-to-head, both teams combined for 11 corners (6:5 in favor of the Nerazzurri). Therefore, a bet on over 9.5 corners seems well-founded.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Inter are the favorites for the upcoming clash, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. Firstly, Bologna have noticeably declined both in terms of results and their level of play. In their last three Serie A matches, they haven't secured a single victory, suffering two defeats, and looking significantly weaker against Lazio (1-1) and Juventus (0-1). Secondly, the Italian Super Cup has become something of a Nerazzurri specialty, with Inter winning this trophy in three of the last four editions. Last year, they missed out only due to their own complacency, losing to Milan (2-3) after leading 2-0 early in the second half-a painful setback that still lingers in the minds of players and fans alike. This time around, the team will be highly motivated to reclaim the trophy, especially since their current form is strong with four wins in their last five matches. Therefore, our main bet is on an Inter victory in regular time, with a likely scoreline of 2-1 in favor of the Milan side.
