When Inter Milan last beat Bologna at San Siro, the night belonged to Federico Dimarco.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Italy international’s only brace in Serie A came precisely against Bologna, on 9 November 2022, when Inter ran out emphatic 6-1 winners.

It remains Dimarco’s most prolific domestic outing in front of goal and a useful reference point ahead of tonight’s clash.

Cristian Chivu can also lean on the winger’s current form.

Dimarco has been rested only once this season, away to Genoa, and continues to be one of the most influential wide players in Europe.

The numbers underline his impact: two goals and five assists in 21 appearances, alongside 16 “big chances” created for teammates.

That total puts him ahead of a number of elite creators across the continent, including Deiver Machado and Lamine Yamal, confirming his importance in Inter’s attacking structure.

If Bologna remain something of a psychological hurdle, Dimarco’s memories, and his delivery, could once again help Inter break the spell.
