------------------------------------
After securing a place in the Champions League semi-finals by defeating Bayern Munich, Inter Milan returns to their Serie A title defense on Sunday, facing Bologna at Stadio Dall'Ara. Their focus now shifts to maintaining their Scudetto pursuit.

Team Analysis:
Inter Milan advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with a 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich, despite conceding the first goal in the second leg. Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard scored to secure the victory.
Bologna, who had a strong showing against Inter since a heavy loss in 2022, have been in great form, advancing to the Coppa Italia semi-finals and climbing the Serie A standings after a 2-2 draw in their previous encounter.

Player Situation:
Simone Inzaghi may rotate his Inter squad after their midweek match, with Marko Arnautovic potentially starting in place of either Lautaro Martinez or Marcus Thuram. Arnautovic, in good form, will compete for a spot with Mehdi Taremi and Joaquin Correa.
Bologna will be missing key players, including Lewis Ferguson, Davide Calabria, and Lukasz Skorupski, with Federico Ravaglia starting in goal. Up front, Santiago Castro and Thijs Dallinga will battle for the striker role, supported by Riccardo Orsolini and Dan Ndoye, who aims to make history with five consecutive home goals.

Result Prediction:
Bologna have shown resilience this season, earning the most points from losing positions in Serie A. However, Inter have yet to lose after taking the lead. If Bologna manages to go ahead against a fatigued Inter team, the match could end in a draw, which wouldn't benefit either side.

Predicted Result: Bologna 1-1 Inter Milan
