Inter Milan visit Bologna at the Dall'Ara at 23:00 Vietnam time on 17 October after a 4-3 Champions League defeat by Club Brugge. Bongda24h reports that Cristian Chivu's team remain unbeaten and alongside Lazio at the top of Serie A, while monitoring Lautaro Martínez's injury.
Domestic and European returns differ
Lautaro scored twice against Club Brugge but could not prevent defeat. Inter consequently remain without points after two Champions League fixtures this season.
In Serie A, they recently beat Parma 3-0 and have dropped only two points in their completed programme, according to the preview. The Bologna visit therefore follows a more productive domestic sequence.
The article raises the possibility that Lautaro could miss around a month. That is a projected risk, not a recovery deadline confirmed by a medical announcement in the available text.
Bologna have improved under Palladino
Raffaele Palladino began his Bologna spell with a 1-1 draw against Torino and a 2-1 victory over Lecce. Riccardo Orsolini scored to put the team ahead in the latter match.
Those results follow earlier coaching changes rather than announce another appointment before Inter. Bologna's home record still requires improvement: the report cites 11 points from 17 Serie A matches at the Dall'Ara since the previous December, with 26 goals conceded.
Inter have won only three of the latest nine league meetings, and May's visit finished 3-3. The forthcoming match tests Bologna's recent progress against Inter's domestic consistency, with the visitors' attacking availability still under assessment.
