Bologna host Inter on 23 May 2026 at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in the final round, with both sides closing out contrasting seasons. This read leans on standings, recent output, pricing, and the available team-news signals.
Table context
Bologna start the round 8th on 55 points; Inter lead the league on 86. The 31-point gap underlines the difference in season-long levels heading into matchday 38.
Form guide
Bologna’s last five: W-W-D-L-L (4 scored, 6 conceded). Inter’s last five: D-W-W-D-W (11 scored, 3 conceded). Inter bring the cleaner recent return and an aggregate +8 goal split over that run, versus Bologna’s -2.
Recent meetings
Across the last six meetings, Bologna have won 2, Inter 2, with 2 draws. There’s no decisive historical edge in the recent sample.
Availability and matchup
Team-news notes are light but do flag absences and doubts on both sides. For Bologna: K. Bonifazi is listed unavailable; N. Cambiaghi, N. Casale and M. Vitik are doubtful. For Inter: M. Akanji, H. Calhanoglu, D. Dumfries and M. Thuram are listed unavailable, variously through rest or fitness. With tactical reporting limited, the firmer read comes from season profile and form rather than speculative matchups.
Key numbers
Last five league matches: Bologna 4-6 (GF-GA); Inter 11-3. Bologna average 1.17 points per game at home; Inter take 2.28 away. Consensus 1X2 pricing at capture: Bologna 3.01, Draw 3.64, Inter 2.21.
Prediction
Inter are the side to side with. The most realistic scoreline is 2-3. Inter’s away output and recent numbers set a clearer baseline, even with some availability caveats. Confidence is relatively strong by pre-match standards, while acknowledging that no single factor eliminates risk.
Verdict
The numbers point to Inter, with the edge meaningful but not automatic. Team availability notes lean slightly against Inter, but their broader form still carries the call.
