Bologna vs Inter Prediction

Bologna host Serie A leaders Inter on 17 October 2026 at 19:00 at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. Raffaele Palladino's side arrive off a 2-1 win over Lecce but have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Samuel Mbangula and Jens Odgaard remain doubtful. Inter travel to Bologna after a 3-0 demolition of Parma, though a chaotic 4-3 Champions League loss to Club Brugge exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Lautaro Martinez returns to the starting XI. John Stones and Curtis Jones are unavailable through injury.

Form and H2H

Bologna have won three of their last ten but concede 1.30 goals per game at home. Inter have won seven of their last ten on the road, averaging 2.50 goals per match. The head-to-head record between these sides shows Inter winning three of the last six meetings, with the most recent fixture a 1-1 draw in November 2013. Inter's away form and attacking output make them heavy favourites, while Bologna's home record suggests they will struggle to contain the visitors' firepower.

Best Bet

Inter to win. Cristian Chivu's side sit top of the league and have the quality to take all three points at a ground where Bologna have defensive issues. At 1xBet, an Inter victory is priced at 1.65.

Odds to Watch

Bologna 1-3 Inter is the correct score prediction. The 1X2 odds at 1xBet are: Bologna 5.82, Draw 4.22, Inter 1.65. Inter's superior form and attacking average of 2.50 goals away from home make them the strongest play, though Bologna's home matches often produce goals.
