Match Facts
This is Bologna’s first-ever appearance in the Supercoppa Italiana, qualifying after their 2024-25 Coppa Italia triumph where they defeated AC Milan in the final.
Despite Inter’s stature, Bologna has become their "bogey team." The Rossoblu have lost only once in their last five meetings with Inter, including a 1-0 win in April 2025 and a 2-2 draw earlier this year.
The Nerazzurri are led by head coach Cristian Chivu, who is chasing his first managerial silverware. Inter currently sits at the top of the Serie A table (as of Dec 2025), while Bologna maintains a strong 6th position.
Both teams are missing key defensive stalwarts. Inter is without Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, and Denzel Dumfries. Bologna travels without Lukasz Skorupski and Remo Freuler.
Lautaro Martinez remains the man to watch, holding the record for the Supercoppa’s all-time top scorer. For Bologna, Riccardo Orsolini is the primary threat, having scored or assisted five times in his last six games against Inter.
Prediction of AI
Based on recent form and squad depth, the AI predicts a 2-1 victory for Inter Milan.
While Bologna’s tactical discipline under Vincenzo Italiano has consistently troubled Inter, the Nerazzurri's superior attacking depth—led by Lautaro Martinez—is expected to be the deciding factor in a neutral venue. However, given Inter’s recent defensive inconsistencies (only 4 clean sheets in 12 games), Bologna is highly likely to find the back of the net.
