Sunday, 4 January 2025
Kick-off is at 21:45
Sitting at the top of the Serie A pile, Inter Milan could extend their winning run to five games when they take on Bologna at the San Siro on Sunday.
The Italian giants have amassed 36 points from their opening 16 matches and currently hold a one-point lead over second-placed AC Milan ahead of their clash against Bologna.
Inter last recorded a 1-0 win over Atalanta this past weekend, a result that came after wins over Pisa, Como and Genoa respectively.
Bologna on the other hand are in seventh spot with 26 points to their name following a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on Sunday.
Overall, Bologna battled to yield positive results recently and recorded just one win, two losses and two draws in each of their last five league outings.

As Inter look to bag their 21st league title, and their first since the 2023/24 campaign, Cristian Chivu believes his side need to endure difficult spells en-route to claiming gold.
“We know the road is still long, that we want to be competitive, that we have to work, and that sometimes we have to fight against injustices and against those who think everything is a given,” Chivu said.
“But we know that in the end the pitch is what shows the real value of a team and a competition.
“We’re trying in every way, for better or worse, trying to respond blow for blow.
“We always keep our heads high, react to difficulties, and we’re ready to fight and work even harder.”
