Command Analysis
Inter
ItalyCurrent form
Inter approached the start of the season as the main contender for the championship title – the selection of players allowed the Nerazzurri to count on repeating the success of the previous season. However, it was already obvious in the summer that Simone Inzaghi team could not have an easy life in the championship – all competitors were seriously strengthened and changed coaches in an attempt to fight for the title.
In the first round, Inter looked quite decent overall, the only serious setback was the defeat in the derby against Milan in the autumn. However, there were several completely unnecessary losses of points and Napoli took advantage of the situation, breaking ahead, then Atalanta also joined the fight for the title, which quite unexpectedly also had championship ambitions.
A week ago, Inter lost the victory they had almost achieved in the Super Cup. Having easily beaten Atalanta in the semi-final, the Nerazzurri had a two-goal advantage in the final against Milan, but managed to lose. A few days ago, Inter beat Venezia 1-0 away and moved up to second place in the table – the champion is now four points behind Napoli, but the Neapolitans have played two more matches.

Bologna
ItalyCurrent form
Bologna performed a real miracle last season and became one of the main discoveries not only of Serie A, but of all European football, having managed to get into the Champions League. However, in the summer, Thiago Motta, who was the main creator of success, left the team, but in addition, the management decided to sell all the key players who were in serious demand. However, there were also enough incoming transfers and many of them have already fully justified themselves.
After such a large-scale restructuring, Bologna quite expectedly had big problems at the start of the championship - it took a lot of time to establish mutual understanding and strengthen the playing ties. Gradually, the Rossoblu improved and not only pulled themselves up to the Eurocup zone, but are also contenders for a ticket to the Champions League, which few expected from Vincenzo Italiano team.
Bologna are seventh in the table with 29 points, seven points behind fourth-placed Lazio, but the Eagles have played two more games. In the last round, the Rossoblu missed out on a 2-2 home win over Roma, allowing their opponents to equalise just before the final whistle. Next week, Bologna will play Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, but their chances of reaching the playoffs are gone.

Inter have closed to within four points of Napoli and today have a great opportunity to reduce the gap to a minimum. Despite the defeat in the Super Cup, the Nerazzurri are in excellent shape, have no serious personnel problems, Hakan Calhanoglu has something to replace, and there will also be plenty of motivation. Bologna is inferior in class and has not looked very convincing in recent matches, against such an Inter, with a frantic motivation, it will be almost impossible to hold out in Milan.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Inter . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on total
Inter looks very strong in the championship and has the best attack - 46 goals in the gates of the opponents Nerazzurri sent in 18 rounds. Today the hosts need only a victory and it is unlikely that Bologna, who conceded five goals from Roma and Verona in the last two matches, have a chance to play reliably. At the same time, the Rossoblu are unlikely to come only to defend, Bologna knows how to play second fiddle, scores regularly, the guests are quite capable of responding with one goal today.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.90
Combined rate
Inter spent the entire first half trying to keep up with the leaders, but now it seems to be time to return to the podium. Today match is of exceptional importance for the Nerazzurri, three points will allow them to get very close to Napoli, Inter is quite capable of taking them, with all due respect to Bologna. However, it will be very difficult to beat such an opponent without a goal, the Rossoblu play openly, regularly score, including against Inter, and they will probably score today.
The bet is Inter win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 3.35
