"Since suffering a 6-1 thrashing in late 2022, Bologna have become a far tougher opponent for Inter, losing only once in their last five meetings. Their most recent clash ended in a dramatic 1-0 victory at Stadio Dall'Ara in April, courtesy of Riccardo Orsolini's stoppage-time strike. Now, the Rossoblù aim to record consecutive wins over the Nerazzurri for the first time this century."
"Having earned their Supercoppa debut by beating Milan in last season's Coppa Italia final-a triumph that ended a 51-year wait for major silverware-Bologna approach this contest as a bonus opportunity. Under Vincenzo Italiano, they have impressed on multiple fronts, sitting sixth in Serie A, progressing in Europe, and starting their cup defense with a win over Parma earlier this month."
Inter Milan, last season's Serie A runners-up, face Coppa Italia winners Bologna in Riyadh with the winner advancing to a Supercoppa Italiana final against Napoli or AC Milan. Bologna make their Supercoppa debut after beating Milan in the Coppa Italia final to end a 51-year wait for major silverware. Since a 6-1 defeat in late 2022, Bologna have lost only once in five meetings with Inter, including a 1-0 victory via Riccardo Orsolini's stoppage-time strike. Bologna sit sixth in Serie A, are progressing in Europe, and started their cup defense with a win over Parma. Defensive issues remain—no clean sheets in six matches—and several players are injured or suspended, with Santiago Castro expected to lead the line and Orsolini providing support.
