Bologna host Inter in Serie A. Inter have been picking up results at a good rate this season, while Bologna have found things much harder.
The two clubs have met plenty of times down the years, and the head-to-head record includes some real gulfs in class. Recent meetings between them, though, have been a lot tighter than the current form guide might suggest.

Bologna's equivalent run is far more mixed. Five wins, five draws and ten defeats from 20 matches, with 20 goals for and 33 against, points to a side still finding its feet.
There's a clear gap in recent output between the two sides, though friendlies and cup games are mixed into both samples.
Comparative Team Statistics: Bologna vs Inter

Head-to-head history
Looking back over the last ten years or so, Inter have had the better of this fixture more often than not, including a couple of 6-1 wins along the way. That's a heavy historical lean in Inter's favour.

The most recent meetings tell a different story, though. A 3-3 draw in May, a 3-1 Inter win in January, a 1-1 draw in the Super Cup, and a narrow 1-0 Bologna win the previous April all suggest these games have become far more competitive lately.
The gap between these two has narrowed noticeably in recent head-to-head meetings compared with the wider historical record.
League table gap
Inter currently sit second in Serie A with 13 points from five games, four wins and just one defeat. Bologna are down in 18th with only two points from the same number of matches, having won none of them.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AS Roma | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 14/3 | 13 |
| 2 | Inter | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 15/8 | 13 |
| 3 | Lazio | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 8/3 | 13 |
| 17 | Fiorentina | 5 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 6/12 | 4 |
| 18 | Bologna | 5 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 3/6 | 2 |
| 19 | Genoa | 5 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 3/10 | 1 |
That's a big early-season gap, with Inter's goal difference of plus seven a long way ahead of Bologna's minus three.
On the current table alone, Inter look the far stronger side this season.

Inter's firepower
Lautaro Martínez has four goals in his last four appearances for Inter, with Marcus Thuram and Francesco Esposito also among the scorers. Amady Diouf has been busy creating chances too, with three assists in four matches.
There's no equivalent player data available for Bologna in this sample, so we can't compare their individual contributions directly.
Inter's attacking output isn't reliant on one man alone, which adds to their threat.

Inter's season so far, and their recent form, point clearly in one direction. Bologna have struggled for results and sit deep in the table by comparison.
But the head-to-head record shows these games have been tighter than the numbers elsewhere suggest, and with no market available to weigh the price against that risk, we're not making a selection here.
