Inter Milan vs Bologna FC 1909 Prediction 4 January 2026

Boasting arguably the strongest squad in the league, Inter sit atop the standings with 36 points and an impressive 35–14 goal difference. After a disappointing 0–1 defeat in the derby against Milan, the Nerazzurri responded in convincing fashion, stringing together victories over Pisa (2–0), Como (4–0), Genoa (2–1), and Atalanta (1–0). Simone Inzaghi’s team has once again underlined its consistency and depth.

Bologna, meanwhile, arrive after a turbulent stretch of fixtures. A convincing 3–0 win over Udinese at the end of November was followed by a difficult run against stronger opposition, as they dropped points against Cremonese (1–3), Lazio (1–1), Juventus (0–1), and Sassuolo (1–1). Despite a challenging December, the Rossoblù head into this round in seventh place with 26 points and a solid 24–14 goal difference.

While Bologna’s recent results have been mixed, their defensive structure remains one of their biggest strengths, and they are capable of frustrating even the league’s most potent attacks. However, Inter’s superior quality, depth, and home advantage should ultimately prove decisive.
