Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Inter and Bologna will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Cristian Eugen Chivu or Vincenzo Italiano has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to roughly a 79% probability.

Goal Statistics

Inter Milan's defensive record is to be admired, C. Chivu's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive Serie A games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Bologna makes sense in this context.
