Inter vs Bologna Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

After a sticky start to his time in charge of Inter, three league wins in a row – including a 2-1 victory over Serie A champions Juventus –  the picture is looking a lot better for coach Frank de Boer.

Empoli were comfortably despatched last time out, with captain and talisman striker Mauro Icardi again on the score-sheet for Inter, who are just two points off the top of the table.

De Boer is also boosted by the availability of Ever Banega for this match – he sat out the Empoli win due to suspension – and Inter are understandably big favourites here, given they have won eight of their last 10 matches in front of their own fans.

It is harder to find reasons to side with Bologna when providing free betting tips and predictions for this Serie A clash, which is one of the Sunday afternoon kick-offs in Italy.

Although they have beaten Crotone, Cagliari and Sampdoria at home this season, sitting a single point behind Inter in the table as a result, Bologna are without a win in nine games on the road in Serie A, losing 5-1 at Torino and 3-1 at Napoli this season.

Tightening up at the back is therefore a must for coach Roberto Donadoni, but Inter are likely to have too much quality in attack for Bologna.

Inter eased into an early lead against Empoli and they will look to control this match as well, so our selection is Inter/Inter HT/FT at 11/10 with bet365 as De Boer’s men seek a fourth straight league victory.

But Inter’s twin wins over Bologna in Serie A last season both came by a single goal, so it is unlikely to be straightforward for the hosts, and our correct score tip is Inter to win 2-1 at 7/1 with bet365 as a result.
