Nicolo Barella: Has scored or assisted in seven of his last 10 Serie A games

Our football props column heads to Serie A on Wednesday night with a 3/1 shot backed in the Inter Milan v Bologna game.

  • BTTS stats strong for both sides
  • Barella goal contributions are big business
  • 3/1 Bet Builder produced

There looks to be some value in backing both teams to score at the San Siro on Wednesday night.

Despite a disappointing start to the campaign, Inter have been shut out only once in Serie A so far and BTTS has landed in 62% of their games.

They head into this one on the back of two defeats - against Bayern Munich and Juventus - which will offer in-form Bologna plenty of hope.

The visitors arrive on a four-game winning streak in all competitions so confidence should be high.

They've already scored in away games at high-flying Napoli (twice) and Lazio so facing eighth-placed Inter should not faze them.

Both teams have scored in 69% of Bologna's games so far this season.

The BTTS score option is considered a 4/5 shot so that makes it into our Bet Builder.

In what could well be a high-scoring affair, I'm going to return to a props play which rewarded this column a couple of weeks ago and that's Nicolo Barella to score or assist at 6/4.

The Inter midfielder has now managed this in seven of his last 10 league games, including his last five at the San Siro.

He has the passing skillset to unlock any defence and has been running games from his central position in recent weeks.

Put the two bets together and you get a price of 3/1.
