On Sunday, February 26, Inter Milan will face Bologna at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, marking their return to Serie A play. The team led by Simone Inzaghi will try to build on their first-leg victory over Porto in the UEFA Champions League last-16 matchup.
Last weekend, Bologna won again, beating Sampdoria 2-1 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. That was following their February 12 defeat to Monza, which ended their four-game winning streak in the league.
Bologna is eighth in the standings, level on points with Juventus, which is seventh, with 32 points from 23 games. After a narrow 1-0 victory over Porto in the first leg of their last-16 match in midweek, Inter is now in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
The Nerazzurri are back in Serie A, where they are unbeaten in four games and have ten points from 12 games since their 1-0 loss to Empoli in January. Inter is 15 points behind Napoli, which is in the first place, with 47 points from 23 games.

Bologna vs Inter Prediction :

After suffering a muscle injury during the first half of Bologna’s match against Sampdoria, Stefan Posch is likely to miss the game. On Sunday, Giorgos Kyriakopoulos, who was brought in in his place, is expected to start at left-back, with Andrea Cambiaso moving to the opposite side.
The remainder of the starting lineup might remain the same due to Marko Arnautovic’s likely hip injury. After making an impact as a substitute in the Champions League, Lukaku may be reinstated in the Inter XI, possibly replacing Edin Dzeko.
