Where to watch Inter Milan vs. Bologna: Tajon Buchanan live stream, TV channel, Serie A match start time

On By Littum

Inter Milan are preparing for a crucial midweek Serie A clash at the San Siro, welcoming Bologna.

The Nerazzurri have made it six wins in a row and move just one point off top spot with a potential victory over the Rossoblu.

While their league form has been dominant, recent events have stirred mixed feelings in Simone Inzaghi’s side. The trail of losing the Supercoppa Italiana to AC Milan – after surrendering a two-goal advantage – remains looming.

But their determination was evident in their response that secured a narrow 1-0 win against Venezia at the Penzo.

Their meetings last season saw an even split in the league, but it was the Coppa Italia clash that really stood out. Bologna claimed a memorable victory in extra time.

Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the game, kick-off times and the latest lineup news.
