Follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s six Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.
The Nerazzurri are without a victory in over two months and are again without their top scorer Mauro Icardi due to injury.
Eder did score when in the starting XI against Crotone last week, but that was also a 1-1 draw.
Luciano Spalletti had moved to a 4-3-3 system and sticks with it, dropping Antonio Candreva for Yann Karamoh’s debut start.
Despite reports to the contrary, Rafinha is only on the bench, while Joao Cancelo returns after being dropped for complaining about his tactics.
Bologna aren’t doing much better with one win in their last five games, losing three of the last four on their travels.
They’re really missing injured Simone Verdi, but drop Mattia Destro following reported clashes with Coach Roberto Donadoni.
Palacio probably didn’t expect to have a second lease of life at Bologna, but he has been remarkable this season and is flanked by Federico Di Francesco and on-loan Juventus winger Riccardo Orsolini.
Inter have won only one of their last five Serie A home games against Bologna, drawing two and losing two. Can they earn their first victory in eight rounds?
