Bologna welcome Scudetto winners Inter Milan to the Renato Dall’Ara in the last matchday of the Serie A campaign on Saturday. This final game has little meaning for either team, as the Nerazzurri have already won the title, while Bologna are set to finish eighth regardless of the matchday 38 results.
The Rossoblu are on 55 points and have fallen just short of qualifying for the UEFA Conference League place, with Atalanta assured of that honor in seventh place, just above them.
Thanks for the submission!
In their most recent match, Vincenzo Italiano’s men did well to secure a 1-0 away win against Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium, with star winger Riccardo Orsolini earning them the three points with his 77th-minute strike.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan became Serie A champions on 3 May, with three rounds of matches to go, when they beat Parma 2-0. They went on to complete the domestic double when they beat Lazio 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final on 13 May.
After all that success, the Nerazzurri finally dropped a few points at the San Siro, as the result no longer mattered, when they drew 1-1 with Verona on Sunday. There is very little riding on this game against Bologna, and coach Cristian Chivu may decide to ring the changes.
