Biraghi is off for Candreva as Conte introduces a more attacking option at wing-back.
73'
R. Gagliardini gets yellow.

72'
G. Medel enters the game and replaces A. Poli.
M. Vecino enters the game and replaces R. Gagliardini.
Conte does make that change and it is Gagliardini who makes way for Vecino in the centre of the park.
Poli also comes off for Medel in the Bologna midfield - two former Inter players trading places.
67'
Inter are struggling to create and play out with their usual quality at the moment. Perhaps Conte will introduce a more creative midfielder like Sensi or Valero from the bench as his side search for a goal.
65'
Svanberg takes a clearance to the face as Krejci smashes it inadvertently at his team-mate. There's a brief delay as he comes round, but he should be okay to continue.
63'
Inter have given away a few sloppy fouls in frustration since the goal. They need to remain calm and continue to create chances for themselves.
59'
R. Soriano has scored a goal for Bologna! Assist by M. Svanberg.
GOAL!! BOLOGNA TAKE THE LEAD! A wonderful, flowing move was started and finished by Soriano, who struck a fierce effort that took a deflection off De Vrij and flew past Handanovic! It's 1-0 to Bologna!
Svanberg was forced a little wide and the move looked like it might break down, but he kept his composure and laid it off for Soriano, who took his goal well.
57'
Bologna are enjoying a spell on the ball and are working it around nicely, but are lacking the penetration to trouble Inter at present.
55'
Gagliardini bursts forward from midfield and drives into the area, but his progress is halted and Martinez then gives a foul away in his eagerness to win it back.
51'
Barella gives the ball away very cheaply and Bologna pounce swiftly. However, a scrap ensues as they're halted on the edge of the box and the hosts earn themselves a free-kick as Soriano is fouled.
49'
Bologna look a little more open in this half than they did in the first 45, an encouraging sign for Conte's side.
46'
We're back under way for the second half!
45' +1
HALF-TIME: BOLOGNA 0-0 INTER
45'
Palacio sees a scuffed shot easily gathered by Handanovic. There's not long left in the half now.
43'
Bologna have enjoyed a spell of possession in the last few minutes but have struggled to create anything meaningful with it.
41'
Danilo gets yellow.
Danilo joins Brozovic in the book for a foul on Martinez, who has been quite a handful so far today.
40'
Inter are managing Bologna well when the hosts do get forward, restricting them to passes outside the area and preventing them from finding space between the lines.
37'
BLOCK! A neat nutmeg on the left from Martinez sees him drift inside before working the ball to Gagliardini to strike first-time, but the effort is charged down just outside the box.
35'
M. Brozović gets yellow.
Brozovic picks up the first yellow card of the day as he fells Mbaye. Poor challenge.
29'
Biraghi has a fistful of Mbaye's shirt and gives away a foul on the Bologna defender. There have been a fair few fouls in the opening stages of this one.
27'
There's a scrappy passage of play on the edge of the Inter box as both sides play sloppy passes and give the ball away uncharacteristically.
25'
Sansone takes a speculative shot on from outside the box and it's blocked away, before Martinez draws a foul on the edge of the area to relieve the pressure.
23'
It's been a fairly even contest so far, with both sides playing it around smartly. Inter have come closer to scoring, however.
21'
Lazaro is unhappy that the referee has not played advantage, with acres of space for the Austrian to run into on the flank, but it's brought back for a foul on Barella.
20'
Danilo lines one up from a long way out and predictably sends it high over the bar. Not the best decision from the centre-back.
15'
Gagliardini plays a bizarre, lofted back-pass from near the halfway line that Handanovic is forced to take on his chest and quickly hack clear! It actually went out of play but the decision is not given and the Inter midfielder gets away with it!
11'
BLOCK! De Vrij is up from the back and has a pop from the middle of the box that has plenty of power but it's blocked bravely away.
7'
Skorupski has to be quick off his line to get to a short back-pass ahead of Martinez and thump clear. Good anticipation from the Pole.
5'
Some good football has been played from both sides so far, with a dedication to short passing build-up from back to front.
1'
We're under way in Bologna!
