Napoli vs Bologna

Stadio Diego Armando Maradona is the venue as Napoli and Bologna go head-to-head in an intriguing Serie A fixture.

Seeking a way back to winning ways in Serie A following a scoreless away draw with Roma over the weekend, Napoli will be looking to maintain their 100% league record at home this season (W4). Though they will have to make it out with charismatic boss Luciano Spalletti, who received a straight red card against Roma, the ‘Partenopei’ can draw inspiration from their impressive H2H record across their last seven Serie A home meetings with Bologna (W6, L1). Notably, the hosts have found the net in 16 consecutive top-flight fixtures against this opposition, while they’ve scored 3+ goals in six of their last seven league H2Hs at home. Adding to Napoli’s confidence, they take the field unbeaten in 15 Serie A matches at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (W12, D3).

In the meantime, nine-man Bologna succumbed to a 4-2 home defeat to Napoli’s fellow title challengers AC Milan last time out despite putting on a spirited performance. However, Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men have yet to taste victory on the road this term, having lost two of their four Serie A away games (D2), conceding 4+ goals in each defeat. The visitors have struggled in front of goal on the road this season, netting under 1.5 goals in three of their four league trips so far. But Bologna could pose a genuine threat from corners, having scored a league-high seven goals from such plays this term. Brace yourself for a breathtaking match finale, though, as three of Bologna’s four Serie A away games this season have featured at least one goal beyond the 75th minute.
