Bologna vs Inter Prediction: 23.05.2026 Serie A

Bologna host Inter at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on May 23rd in the final round of the Serie A season. Inter arrive as newly-crowned champions, aiming to finish their campaign with authority. Bologna, settled in eighth, have their eyes on a statement result to cap off an up-and-down season. This fixture always brings intensity last time at this venue, Bologna managed a memorable win. Key players to watch include Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini, whose sharp attacking instincts could trouble Inter’s backline, and Inter’s captain Lautaro Martínez, who’s been in prolific scoring form. The hot stat: Inter have scored 10 goals in their last five games, more than double Bologna’s output over the same period.

Bologna vs Inter prediction

We predict Inter to win this match. Their attack is fluid, their defense is hard to break down, and the data all season has pointed to their dominance. Inter’s recent form (five wins and two draws in the last seven) shows a team still hungry, even with the title wrapped up. Bologna, while feisty, struggle for consistency and have managed only two wins in their last five. Inter’s squad depth and tactical flexibility under Cristian Chivu will likely be the difference. Bologna’s more aggressive style, shown by their higher recent foul and yellow card counts, could leave gaps for Inter’s efficient forwards to exploit. Ball possession and passing stats heavily favor Inter expect them to control the tempo and create more clear chances.

Team Analysis

Bologna’s last match was a narrow 1-0 win over Atalanta, showing grit but also the ongoing challenge of breaking down quality sides. Orsolini provided spark, but overall the team struggled for sustained pressure. Earlier, they pulled off a spirited 3-2 win over Napoli but failed to build momentum, drawing and losing against Cagliari and Roma. Defensively, Bologna have looked vulnerable, conceding in key moments. Their passing numbers are decent but not elite, and they rely on transitions to generate chances.

Inter, in contrast, are in cruise control. Their recent 1-1 draw with Verona saw some rotation, but before that they dispatched Lazio twice and Parma without conceding. Inter’s defense is disciplined, while in attack Martínez and Thuram regularly carve open back lines. Inter’s midfield, led by Barella and Çalhanoğlu, dictates the rhythm with precision passing and movement. Their ability to convert possession into shots (68 total shots in their last five matches) and corners (27) stands out.

• Draw 3.60
• Over/Under Over 2.5 1.85 | Under 2.5 1.95
• BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.70 | No 2.10

Bookmakers make Inter clear favorites, and the odds reflect both their league position and their recent head-to-head superiority. Inter’s price around 2.20 offers real value given their win rate and attacking stats. Bologna are long shots at over 3.00, and that lines up with their inconsistency. The draw is less likely, as both sides prefer to play on the front foot. Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams To Score both sit below even money, echoing the attacking threat on display.

Possible Starting Lineups

Bologna possible starting eleven

Ravaglia gets the nod in goal after multiple appearances recently. The defensive line features Miranda and Lucumi at its core, with De Silvestri and Heggem adding experience and width. In midfield, Freuler leads the pivot, supported by Ferguson, Pobega, and Moro players with energy and passing range. Up front, Orsolini and Rowe are the most consistent threats. The likely 3-4-2-1 formation gives Bologna some balance between defense and attack, but they need Rowe’s movement and Orsolini’s finishing to be clinical.

Inter possible starting eleven

Sommer’s safe hands are a lock for the starting keeper spot. De Vrij, Bastoni, and Acerbi form a reliable back three. The midfield is packed with quality: Barella’s engine, Dimarco’s creativity, and Dumfries’ runs. Zieliński and Sučić add flexibility, while Martínez and Thuram up front bring goals and power. Inter’s favored 3-5-2 maximizes their attacking threat while giving them control in the center. Martínez’s form and Thuram’s workrate are match-defining qualities.
