Key Players in the Spotlight
Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan) – Inter’s captain and talisman continues his sensational form with five goals in his last six Serie A matches. ‘El Toro’ scored 30 goals across all competitions in 2025 and needs just one more to reach double figures for a seventh consecutive Serie A season. His clinical finishing and leadership make him the Nerazzurri’s most dangerous weapon.
Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna) – The Bologna winger matches Martinez with 15 league goals in 2025, making them joint-top scorers. Orsolini has been directly involved in five goals across his last six league games against Inter, including a crucial Supercoppa strike. His pace and creativity will be vital to Bologna’s upset hopes.
Historic Streak on the Line
Inter boast Italy’s most potent attack and could make history with their first Serie A campaign without a single draw through 17 matches. Having registered 12 wins and four losses, Cristian Chivu’s side chase their first league victory of the year for a seventh straight calendar season. Bologna, meanwhile, have scored in 17 consecutive away games at San Siro, demonstrating their attacking threat despite recent inconsistency.
Injury Updates and Team Selection
Inter welcome back veteran Francesco Acerbi from injury but remain without wing-backs Matteo Darmian and Denzel Dumfries, plus striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. Marcus Thuram partners Martinez in attack. Bologna miss goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski and Federico Bernardeschi, but Torbjorn Heggem returns from suspension. Santiago Castro or Thijs Dallinga will lead the line, supported by the in-form Orsolini.
