Inter will welcome Bologna to the San Siro on Saturday as the Serie A action continues. Inter comprehensively swept aside Sassuolo in the last Serie A fixture.

Conte’s men will look to build some momentum going into the crux half of the season. Bologna will not be an easy side to beat as they sit at the 10th spot. Inter historically has had a rough time against mid-table teams so this match-up will be quite crucial for Inter.

Statistics & Encounters

In the last 24 head-to-head encounters between the two sides, Inter holds a clear advantage. They have won 15 games, lost four, and drawn five.

Inter’s Lukaku is in top form this season and has declared openly that it has been his best year and a half of his career. A morale boost would surely encourage him to come up with a big performance against Bologna.

Lukaku has 7 goals in 8 Serie A matches this season.
