When Thiago Motta left I rossoblu in June 2024, there would not be many football fans who would believe Bologna would still be ahead JuventusThe team’s motto went, with five games to go to the 2024/25 campaign.

Although there is only one point in it, Vincenzo Italiano’s team has done extremely good to maintain rhythm with those at the summit, and who means they cannot cement their place in the premier European football competition at the expense of the old lady.

The next match against Juventus can determine the Champions League settings

The next match between the couple – At the Renato Dall’ara Stadium of Bologna – it takes place on May 4, and the result can go in some way to determine which of the two clubs makes it in the Champions League and must be pleased with a Bed of the Europa League.

Meanwhile, win over Inter should make everyone sit down and get attention now, especially as no one can say he did not deserve.

It was the first time when Inter played Napoli on March 1 that they had ended a Serie A match with only one targeted blow, and in many other metrics, Bolonna came out.

Their 12 shots in the match were four more than Inter, and three shots targeted shook the result of the visitors. Nine shots inside the box saw them have the advantage of two above Inter, and their three great chances created compared to any of their opponents to mean who were hungry side at night.

The 24 Bologna touches in the opposition box were nine more than managed by Inzaghi, and their 80.6% end statistics were marginalized better than 79% of Inter.

Although visitors shadowed possession (52.1% to 47.9%) and had a little more total transitions (381 to 340), they did not have so much transitions to half of the opposition (173 in Bologna) and their poor passage in half of the Bologna was 73% of the Bologna.

Bolonna more ready to move forward than Inter

What is also interesting is that inter’s Carlos Augusto There were six touches in the Bologna box, which is three more than each of his teammates, of whom only five other players made entry into the area. Bolonna took nine of their players in the ball in the Inter penalty box, four of whom had three or more touches.

This is more proof of a willingness to move forward and make things happen, but perhaps the most discovering statistics in the match showed that Bologna completed 41.7% of their 12 drivers, which, though not fantastic, are significantly better than the Pathetic Success of Inter 14.3% of the seven attempted dribbles.

With that lonely Orsolini The strike, this meant that Bolonna had found the net in 13 consecutive home matches in a single season in Serie A for the first time since 1942/43 (also 13), and condemned Inter for their third loss against the Easter Sunday armies (mostly against an opponent on that day of the year).

Not since April 18, 19.76 had lost the last Inter on Easter Sunday – on that occasion, Ascoli winning points thanks to a 2-0 line – while this was also the first success for Bologna against Nerazzurri in Easter Sundays since April 17, 1960 (1-0).

Inter are certainly shaking currently, too. After an eight consecutive wins with seven clean sheets, they have only won once in their last six games (D3 L2), holding only a clean sheet in the process.

Napoli big winners after Inter’s wobble continues

What Napoli will also be happy is that not only Inter have some of the most difficult league devices that will come-Roma and Lazio can cause them problems-they have the second match of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Milan to fight with it, and then face Barcelona in the two-legged semifinals in the middle of the middle champions.

In contrast, Antonio Conte’s sideways, they just have to worry about their five tasks of the league.

From Bologna’s point of view, they are probably coming well at the right time and are currently with them.

The Italian team has won seven of their last eight home A (1D) home matches after winning only three of their previous Top-Flight (8D, 1L).
