Inter will take on Bologna up next in the Serie A at the San Siro on Saturday. Inter are tied on 18 points at the top of the table with AC Milan after seven rounds.
The Italian giants have gotten off to an impressive start this season and have lost just one out of their last nine matches. They will be feeling confident after notching their first Champions League group stage win of the season in the mid-week fixture against Benfica.
Meanwhile, Bologna have held on their eighth place in the standing, despite registering three back-to-back goalless draws towards the end of September. They ended that run with a 3-0 win over Empoli, a game in which Ricardo Orsolini grabbed a hat-trick.
