Inter Milan will face off with an improved Bologna FC side in a

Current Form
Inter bounced back to winning ways in the Italian top-flight in style as they hammered US Salernitana 4-0 away on 30 September.
The Big Grass Snake lost to US Sassuolo in their last home game and the defeat ended their six-match unbeaten run in the league at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Meanwhile, Bologna extended their unbeaten run to six matches in Serie A when they claimed a 3-0 win over Empoli FC at home on 1 October.
The Greyhounds are also undefeated in their last six matches on the road in the league having registered four draws and two successive wins as the away side.
Team News
Inter have no suspension worries but Stefano Sensi, Juan Cuadrado and Marko Arnautovic are currently nursing their respective injuries.
Bologna, on the other hand, will be without Adama Soumaoro, Stefan Posch and Jhon Lucumí who are all out injured, but the club has no suspension issues.
Quotes
“Empoli put us in difficulty with courage and enthusiasm, but our mentality today was fantastic," Bologna manager Thiago Motta said after his side's win over Empoli.
"We are working a lot on Riccardo Orsolini for his growth, but the credit goes to him and I am happy with his concentration, the work he has done, the spaces he has opened up, especially for [Lewis] Ferguson, and then obviously for the beautiful goals.
"Let's enjoy the current performance, now a bit of rest for the boys and then we'll think about Inter."
Head-to-Head
Bologna secured a 1-0 win over Inter in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 26 February 2023 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
