Injuries and Suspensions
Bologna host Inter at the Stadio Renato Dell'Ara in a Serie A fixture that arrives at a complicated moment for the visitors, who are carrying the weight of a troubled start to their European campaign.
Inter sit top of Serie A under Cristian Chivu, but the mood around the club is far from settled. A 4-3 defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League — their second consecutive loss in Europe — has exposed defensive vulnerabilities and raised questions that a strong league position alone cannot answer.
Compounding the concern is the injury to captain Lautaro Martinez, who picked up a muscular problem and will miss this match. His absence removes Inter's most important attacking reference point at a time when the squad can least afford disruption.
Bologna, managed by Raffaele Palladino, come into this game in mixed form but will sense an opportunity against an Inter side navigating internal turbulence. The Rossoblu are sitting in the bottom half of the table and will be looking to use home advantage to their benefit.
Italy's clubs have endured a historically poor week in Europe — all four Italian sides lost in the Champions League's second matchday, a first in the competition's history. For Inter, a response in the league is not just desirable; it is necessary.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Bologna vs Inter, including TV channel, live stream options, and kick-off time.
How to watch Bologna vs Inter with VPN
If you are travelling abroad or just want to access your usual streaming services from a different part of the world, you may run into geo-restrictions. This is where a Virtual Private Network (VPN) comes in handy.
A VPN, such as ExpressVPN, allows you to establish a secure, encrypted connection online. By virtually changing your location to a country where the game is being broadcast, you can bypass blackout restrictions and watch your favourite team live. A step-by-step guide is described later in this article, or you can also check out our guide to the best VPNs for streaming sports.
Form
Bologna have won one, drawn two, and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 1-2 victory over Lecce in Serie A, though that positive result follows draws against Torino and Sassuolo and defeats to Napoli and Atalanta. They have scored seven goals in those five games and conceded six, showing a side capable of producing but not always reliable at the back.
Inter's recent five-game run shows three wins, one draw, and one loss. The defeat came in their most recent fixture — the 3-4 reverse against Club Brugge in the Champions League. Before that, they beat Parma 3-0 in Serie A and won a friendly against Lumezzane 2-0. They drew 2-2 with Roma and beat Udinese 5-3 earlier in the run, scoring 15 goals across the five matches while conceding 12 — a record that points to a team with plenty of attacking output but a defence that has been far too generous.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides ended 3-3 at the Stadio Renato Dell'Ara in May 2026, a result that underlines how unpredictable this fixture can be. Across the last five head-to-head matches, Inter have claimed two wins to Bologna's one, with two draws. Goals have been plentiful throughout — the five meetings have produced 21 goals in total, averaging over four per game.
Standings
In Serie A, Inter lead the table in first place while Bologna are 14th, making this a meeting between the division's top side and a team looking to climb away from the lower reaches of the standings.
