Inter Milan vs Bologna: match statistics
Inter Mediolan presents impressive home form with 75% wins and only one defeat in their last 8 home matches. The hosts dominate statistically, scoring an average of 2.63 goals per home game while conceding just 0.63, resulting in a +16 goal difference. Bologna performs much more modestly in away games, averaging 1.63 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per match, and their form in the last 5 meetings (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses) raises concerns. Inter's advantage in possession (60% vs 57%), shots (18 vs 11.25), and expected goals (xG 2.01 vs 1.26) confirms their offensive dominance.
