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. Considering all these factors, Inter Mediolan is the clear favorite for this encounter and should secure maximum points before their own crowd.
