Inter Milan vs Bologna Prediction
Inter Milan have enjoyed a good start to their Serie A campaign. Their start, combined with Juventus' poor form, will provide confidence to Simone Inzaghi's men as they aim to retain their league title. This could also be the season Lautaro Martinez establishes himself as one of the best strikers in Serie A and in Europe.
Lautaro Martinez will soon extend his contract with Inter until June 2026. The agreement is at final stages and set to be signed - increased salary after turning down Tottenham and Atletico Madrid proposals. 🇦🇷 #Inter #transfers
Bologna, on the other hand, continue to make smart signings. Experienced Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic brings goals as well as drama to the Italian club, and his form could prove to be key this season.
Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 Bologna
