Napoli
- Napoli sit second in Serie A on 70 points from 35 games.
- Antonio Conte’s side is a well-disciplined team, with his tactical influence clear in a back three system, well-drilled wing backs and a squad that can shift from solid and compact in defence to an explosive attacking unit in phases.
- However, their last five Serie A games have seen them win two, draw two and lose one, so they are not in the best of form.
- Their recent 4-0 thrashing of Cremonese at home was followed up by a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Lazio and a 0-0 draw away to Como.
- They have won 12, drawn four and lost once in 17 home Serie A matches, scoring 30 goals - an average of 1.76 per outing at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Bologna
- Bologna are pressing hard to earn a European place in 2025-2026, but they have not done enough to secure one of the top seven spots in the table, with 49 points from 35 matches leaving them ninth.
- Their last five matches include a 2-0 away loss to Juventus, a 2-0 home defeat to Roma and a 0-0 home draw with Cagliari, amounting to one win, one draw and three defeats, with the latter two showing a lack of attacking thrust.
Key Players
- Rasmus Hoejlund is the main goal threat for Napoli, netting ten times in 30 Serie A outings this term, while Bologna rely on Riccardo Orsolini, who has scored eight goals in 33 appearances.
- Scott McTominay has also chipped in with two goals in his last five games for Napoli and looks a good option in the anytime scorer market.
Betting Insights
With both sides looking to make a late-season European charge and two top coaches going toe-to-toe, this should be a dramatic game with chances at both ends.
Prediction
Owing to the home advantage, Napoli should come out on top in this match, however, so the predictions are for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals , with the former coming at 1.98 and the latter at 1.99 .
