Bologna vs Inter Milan – Match preview and team news

Bologna team news

Bologna enters the final matchday of the season facing significant availability issues, particularly in their attacking and defensive compartments.

Manager Vincenzo Italiano must navigate the high-profile absence of star winger Riccardo Orsolini, who is ruled out following a left adductor muscle injury sustained recently.

Further limiting Italiano’s tactical options are ongoing injuries to defenders Nicolò Casale and Martin Vitík, sidelined with calf and ankle issues respectively, while forward Nicolò Cambiaghi remains unavailable due to a muscular problem.

On a positive note, the Rossoblù receive a timely defensive boost with the return of influential centre-back Jhon Lucumí, who is available for selection after serving a one-match suspension.

Inter Milan team news

Newly-crowned domestic double winners Inter Milan approach the season finale with a remarkably healthy squad, leaving manager Cristian Chivu with plenty of tactical flexibility.

The only major injury absentee for the Nerazzurri is midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, who continues to recover from a persistent thigh strain.

Having already secured both the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia, Chivu is heavily tipped to rotate his squad to rest key players ahead of the upcoming World Cup tournament.

However, prominent figures Nicolò Barella and Federico Dimarco are projected to return to the starting XI after being rested in previous weeks.

Furthermore, star striker Lautaro Martínez is expected to start as he aims to secure his Capocannoniere top-scorer status. Yann Sommer will start between the posts behind a back three of Stefan de Vrij, Francesco Acerbi, and Carlos Augusto.

Bologna

Bologna enters the season finale carrying a mixed bag of recent performances, though they managed a morale-boosting 1–0 away victory against Atalanta last weekend. Vincenzo Italiano’s men have displayed solid consistency overall, securing eight wins in their last 13 domestic outings.

The Nerazzurri officially clinched their 21st Scudetto earlier this month following a decisive 2–0 win over Parma. Their most recent outing against Hellas Verona ended in a 1-1 draw.
