Napoli vs Bologna Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of Napoli’s last nine home Serie A games.
• Bologna won at this ground last season.
• Bologna opened the season with a 1-1 draw with Udinese.

Tough start for Conte

New Napoli boss Antonio Conte apologised to the club’s fans after last week’s 3-0 defeat at probable relegation contenders Verona, and now his side face a stern assignment against Bologna.

The visitors have lost a number of players who starred last season as they qualified for the Champions League, but they still have enough quality to cause Napoli a few problems.

We may see a response from the Partenopei after that limp display against Verona and Napoli also have a talented squad so a result is hard to call here, but both teams should have enough about them to get on the scoresheet.

Napoli haven’t managed a goal after two games this season but they hit 24 in 19 home games last term. Bologna played out a 1-1 draw with Udinese in their own opener, and have scored in seven of their last 10 trips.

As Napoli have struggled for goals and Bologna have lost a bit of quality in attack this may not be a high-scoring affair and a 1-1 draw is the correct score prediction.
