Bologna vs Napoli Predictions

• Bologna are unbeaten at home this season (W3, D3).
• Bologna have conceded just one Serie A goal at the Renato Dall’Ara in four games.
• Napoli have four defeats in their last five away from home.

Bologna can dent Napoli’s Scudetto defence

Defending champions Napoli come into the latest round of fixtures as the Serie A leaders but they may struggle to pick up any points against a resolute Bologna outfit.

After three defeats in their opening five games, Bologna have put together a nine-game unbeaten run and their form at their Renato Dall’Ara home has been strong all season – with no losses in six games across all competitions.

One option is backing the hosts in the double chance market but taking the prices into consideration it looks worth the risk of taking the risk on Bologna as the underdogs.

Napoli have four defeats in their last five away games and their one victory during that period came at lowly Lecce. Bologna also have a good recent record against the Parenopei, having lost just one of the last five meetings (W1, D3), and their watertight defence at home could give them a platform to grind out a low scoring win.

Bologna have only conceded one goal at home in Serie A this season and they’ve only shipped two in total across all competitions at this venue.

Napoli have failed to score in their last two games as they continue to struggle in attack without Kevin De Bruyne, so one goal should be enough for Bologna to claim the spoils and a 1-0 home win looks a reasonable correct score bet.

Santiago Castro is the form man in the Bologna attack with three of his four goals for the season coming in his last three Serie A games. The 21-year-old Argentine looks a decent contender for an anytime effort on Sunday.
