🚨 Line-ups confirmed: Inter aiming to kick off the year with celebrations

Inter Milan kicks off the year this Sunday at San Siro facing Bologna, with the aim of consolidating their dominance in Serie A. The team led by Cristian Chivu closed a spectacular 2025, positioning themselves as the absolute leader with 36 points and stringing together four consecutive victories.

The Nerazzurri recover a key player: Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who returns to the lineup after overcoming physical issues. However, there are still absences in defense with Acerbi, Dumfries, and Darmian out or doubtful. In attack, all eyes are on Lautaro Martínez; the Argentine captain is in top form after scoring in four consecutive matches and leads the scoring chart with nine goals.

Inter will seek to maintain their winning streak against a Bologna that will try to stop the most in-form team in Italy. A home victory would reaffirm their candidacy for the Scudetto at the start of this cycle.

Confirmed Lineups

Bologna: Ravaglia; Holm, Heggem, Lucumì, Lykogiannis; Moro, Ferguson; Rowe, Odgaard, Cambiaghi; Castro.
