Inter director Beppe Marotta is sure there won’t be any psychological backlash after the defeat to Bologna, as the Scudetto is still up for grabs.

It kicks off at the Dacia Arena at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).

The pressure is on the Nerazzurri, as Milan beat Fiorentina 1-0 in the earlier afternoon fixture, giving them temporarily a five-point lead at the top of the table.

Confidence and Scudetto chances were badly rocked midweek by a 2-1 loss to Bologna, the rescheduled Week 20 game that had been postponed in January due to a COVID outbreak.

“We need to see today’s game as an exam to be passed. Inter must seek the maximum in every situation, which in this case is three points,” Marotta told DAZN.

Was there any intervention from the club or directors after that midweek defeat at the Stadio Dall’Ara?

“We work with the team daily, so there is no need for any particular meetings. It was an unfortunate evening in Bologna, but we know this is another tough test.”

The last time Inter lost in Serie A to Milan, it sparked a rapid downturn in form, so is there the risk of a similar psychological backlash now?

“Absolutely not, we are all accustomed now to the alternating mood of a season, we are grown-ups and know how to approach every situation independently of what happened the week before.”
