The south of Italy can begin their title preparation. While Napoli is authoritatively winning, the competition is trembling, with wobbly legs. In the 24th round of Serie A against Bologna, Inter showed a shaky edition, not only enough for the title of champion of Italy, but also of a club competing for a place in the Champions League. The Nerazzurri didn’t create any clean scoring chances in Bologna, the place where they practically dropped the title at the end of last season. Thiago Mota’s team kept the Lukaku-Lautaro duo away from their goal, outplayed the vice-champion and won the game thanks to the great Riccardo Orsolini – 1:0.2 – Bologna have won two consecutive Serie A games against Inter at Dall’Ara for the first time since 1999.

Instead of handing it over to Nicola Barella, he gave it to Jerdi Schouten. This was followed by a masterful pass for Orsolini between Inter’s defenders and the Italian finished in the style. Throughout the game, it was clear that Bologna would not be satisfied with a point, that they wanted that goal, and Orsolini proved to be the man of the match in today’s duel.GOAL | BOLOGNA 1-0 INTER ⚽ 76′ Riccardo Orsolini #BOLINT #NigeriaDecidespic.twitter.com/417D7IlNh9— FOOTY HUB (@Footyhub01) February 26, 2023 In the first part of the championship, Inter outclassed Bologna at Giuseppe Meazza 6:1, but that is a weak consolation for Simone Inzaghi and his team. His team lacked variety, desire and energy in this match. Unlike the second-placed team in the table, Bologna has refreshed itself in Serie A in 2023. Especially since the end of January, because since then, they have recorded as many as four victories in the five games they have played. Currently they are in position number seven, which does not guarantee a place in Europe, although, in the event that Inter wins the Italian Cup, and Bologna somehow ends up in seventh place, they would win participation in the Conference League.We are running out of headline ideas for these lot – as per usual, Osimhen scores and Napoli winEverything Inter did in the first half came down to Henrik Mkhitaryan’s inaccurate effort from the edge of the penalty area and Lautaro Martinez’s inaccurate header late in the half. In the second half, Inter was a bit more dangerous, but not enough to overcome keeper Lukas Skorupski. Calhanoglu, Dzeko and Gossens did not use one chance each. Dzeko’s chance from the 70th minute was the most mature, just in the period of the game when it seemed that Bologna was losing energy and giving the initiative to the rival. The home team seemed to be crying out for a change, but Thiago Motta waited. He didn’t reach for the bench players until Orsolini ‘broke the ice’. The risk paid off, and the Italian-Brazilian strategist made all five substitutions in the final ten minutes. With this loss, Inter can drop back to the fourth place, if Roma and Milan win their matches tonight/tomorrow.SERIE A – ROUND 24SaturdayEmpoli – Napoli 0-2 (0-2)/Ismajli 17, Osimhen 28/Lecce – Sassuolo 0-1 (0-0)/Thorsvedt 65/SundayBologna – Inter 1-0 (0-0)/Orsolini 76/17:00: (3.45) Salernitana (3.40) Monza (2.30)20:00: (1.68) Udinese (3.70) Spezia (5.70)22:45: (2.30) Milan (3.45) Atalanta (3.40)Monday20:30: (3.35) Verona (3.20) Fiorentina (2.45)22:45: (1.51) Lazio (4.30) Sampdoria (8.50)Tuesday20:30: (5.90) Cremonese (3.70) Roma (1.70)22:45: (1.82) Juventus (3.60) Torino (5.00)***odds are subject to change***
