The Italian top-flight football team Inter Milan, the title holders, seek to avenge their continental disappointment and defend their league top spot when they host Bologna on Saturday in the seventh round.
Inter suffered a heavy 4-3 defeat against Belgian visitors Club Brugge last Tuesday in the second round of the Champions League at the San Siro stadium, marking the first time in their history that they have suffered four consecutive defeats in the prestigious continental competition.
In the same context, only two points separate the top three teams in the league after six rounds, meaning the margin for error is extremely slim, with Inter leading Lazio on goal difference, who face a trip to Turin to meet Juventus.
For his part, players of Romanian coach Cristian Chivu need to improve their away results, having won only once in their last four away matches across all competitions, and Inter will be without Argentine Lautaro Martinez, who is expected to be absent for more than 30 days.
Bologna also seek to achieve two consecutive league wins for the first time this season, after beating Lecce 2-1, and this match is the first of three consecutive games against teams starting this round in the top five.
This match is the first of three consecutive games against teams starting this round in the top five, making the task for the "Rossoneri" difficult if they want to move away from the danger zones.
