League leaders Inter head to a Bologna side still waiting for a first home win of the Serie A season, and the hosts could hardly have asked for a tougher visitor as they try to climb the table.

Anthony Eadson’s Bologna vs Inter predictions, best bets and score prediction are all below, with kick-off set for 5pm (UK time) on Saturday.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson is backing the league’s leading marksman to add to his tally, with a card angle to go alongside it.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Lautaro Martinez to score anytime5/4 (bet365)Lautaro has hit the ground running with four goals in six games to lead the Serie A charts, and Inter have scored in every single league outing on their way to top spot. Bologna have kept just one clean sheet and have been breached seven times, including at home, so the service should be there for the Argentine. At 5/4 for the captain to find the net against a side yet to win on their own patch, it looks a solid starting point.
Nicolo Barella 1+ shot on target4/1 (bet365)Nicolo Barella has landed a shot on target in three of his five Serie A appearances for Inter this season, five in total, and he has scored once. He arrives late in the box and is a regular threat from the edge of the area, and Bologna have lost three of their last five. bet365 offer 4/1 on Barella hitting the target, more than double the price available with most other bookmakers.

How Bologna go into the game

Bologna have made a sluggish start, sitting 14th on five points from six games with just one win to their name, which came in a 2-1 success at Lecce last time out. They have scored only five goals and been shut out three times.

Home form is the real worry: they are still without a victory on their own ground, drawing two and losing one, with their most recent there a 1-1 draw with Torino. Roberto Piccoli leads a muted attack with a single goal.

How Inter go into the game

Inter top the table on 16 points, unbeaten through six games with five wins and a draw, and they boast the division’s most prolific attack on 18 goals. They warmed up for this with a 3-0 home win over Parma.

On the road they have won one and drawn one so far, conceding only twice away from home. Lautaro Martinez leads the way with four goals, with Marcus Thuram on three and two assists alongside him.

Bologna vs Inter score prediction

Inter simply look a cut above here. The hosts have shown some resilience at home but have offered little going forward, so the leaders should have enough to win while Bologna grab a consolation. Score prediction: Bologna 1-2 Inter.
