Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna and Inter take on each other in a highly-anticipated Serie A game at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. The Rossoblu aim to build on a 3-0 win over Sassuolo, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the first game of the year. Despite failing to find the net in the triumph over the Neroverdi, Marko Arnautovic should continue to lead the line for the hosts. All Molla, Viola, Hickey, and Dominguez have been tested positive for coronavirus, while the likes of Schouten and Kingsley are sidelined with injuries.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, are eyeing their eighth consecutive league win. Inter are determined to defend their Serie A trophy, but beating Sinisa Mihajlovic’s troops on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Hakan Calhanoglu is banned for the match, while Inter striker Edin Dzeko misses out through illness (COVID-19).

The club, nicknamed the Nerazzurri or the blue / blacks has had many successes. This is how Inter Milan won 18 national titles, seven times the Italian Cup, the UEFA Cup 3x, and 3x times the Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup I.
