The 20th round of Serie A will be played this week, the first two teams are Bologna and Inter, this campaign the Nerazzurri will go away, as the first game of the new year, coach Inzaghi is also afraid to slacken off, in the case of the team's more serious injury situation, this game is unpredictable, the Nerazzurri is not short of the possibility of being upset.
At present, Dzeko, Kordas and Satriano have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and are in quarantine, so they will be ironclad to be absent from the first battle of the new year with Bologna. Remember that Dzeko is Inter's best striker this season, he has scored 11 goals and 4 assists in the last 24 games, he is the most efficient player under Inzaghi, his absence will make Inter's attacking power drop significantly, the Nerazzurri have to use new signings Correa, the Argentine striker has contributed 4 goals in 16 games.
Since the 1-1 away draw with AC Milan on 8 November, Inter have won seven consecutive games in Serie A, during which Inter have scored a total of 20 goals, including a 3-2 win over Napoli and a 3-0 win over Roma. Therefore, Inter's overall state is very good, but this season's Serie A title competition is extremely fierce, in such an excellent record, Inter is only four points ahead of second-place AC Milan, considering that the Rossoneri will start a day later than Inter milan in this round, and AC Milan will challenge the powerful Roma in this round, so this is a perfect opportunity for Inter to consolidate the lead, once the victory Inter will shake off Milan's 7-point gap.
Bologna is definitely one of Inter's favourite opponents, having won eight of their last 12 meetings with the Nerazzurri, and in the two legs of last season, Inter won 3-1 away and returned home to win 1-0. In the first meeting of the season, Inzaghi slaughtered opponents 6-1 at the Meazza Stadium, with Dzeko, Lautaro, Shkrinar, Besino and Barrera all scoring goals. In this battle, Inter will hit two major records, one: 12 years unbeaten away from Bologna. Record 2: Won eight consecutive league games and became the first serie A team to win a clean sheet in doubles.
With the opening of the winter window, Inter are also ready to leave their footprints in the transfer market, which also highlights the club's determination to defend the Serie A title and go further in the Champions League. According to Sky Sports, Inter technical director Marotta is working on approaching Borussia Defender Bensebani, with the Nerazzurri hoping the 26-year-old will strengthen the team's defensive line in the future. In addition, Digne from Everton is also a favorite object of Inter, and there is still a lot of room for Inter to adjust this winter window.
