Serie A 2023-2024: Bologna-Inter, the likely lineups

Bologna-Inter, the probable formations

One of the most eagerly awaited matches of the 28th day of Serie A is undoubtedly the one that will pit Thiago Motta’s surprising Bologna against Simone Inzaghi’s battleship Inter at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium: an important challenge for the ambitions of both: on the one hand there is a Europe to return to after more than 20 years, on the other a runaway championship to continue. It will be played Saturday at 6 p.m.

As for the Felsinei, veterans of six consecutive victories (preceded by a draw that thus brings the count to seven useful results in a row), likely the 4-1-4-1 with Zirkzee sole offensive reference and Freuler to act as glue between defense and midfield. It is not è excluded però that Motta (a former Inter player, by the way) may choose the double midfield, in the context of a 4-2-3-1, deploying Aebischer in place of Fabbian.

Inter, on the other hand, must also think about measuring strength ahead of the return leg of the Champions League Round of 16 at home to Atletico Madrid, scheduled for Wednesday: Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 confirmed, with space in attack for Thuram and Alexis Sanchez. At the back, trust in Bisseck alongside Acerbi and Bastoni.

Probable formations

BOLOGNA (4-1-4-1): Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler; Ndoye, Fabbian, Ferguson, Saelemaekers; Zirkzee. All. Thiago Motta.

INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkitharyan, Carlos Augusto; Thuram, Sanchez. All. Inzaghi.
