Napoli vs Bologna Predictions

• Napoli have won nine successive matches in all competitions, beating a -1 handicap in six of them.
• Luciano Spalletti’s team have scored three or more goals in each of their last four games, hitting the net a total of 17 times in that run.
• Bologna have won just one of their nine Serie A games this season, conceding 14 goals.

Partenopei flying after Ajax double

Napoli cemented their position as Europe’s most in-form attacking outfit by hammering Ajax once again on Wednesday – their 4-2 home win means they have sealed Champions League progression early, have scored 10 goals in two games against the Eredivisie giants, and have hit the net a remarkable 17 times in their last four outings. Bologna are the latest team to face Luciano Spalletti’s all-conquering side on Sunday, and they look unlikely to stand firm in Southern Italy.

Napoli have now won nine consecutive matches in all competitions, scoring multiple goals in all but one of them and beating a -1 handicap on six occasions. According to expected goals (xG), Spalletti’s team have Serie A’s most creative attack and third-most solid defence, and the league leaders’ tally of 22 goals in nine league outings is the best in the division. At home, meanwhile, Napoli have won thee of their four league games, conceding just two goals.

Bologna appear unlikely to be the side to end Napoli’s brilliant run after winning just one of their nine league games this season. Thiago Motta is yet to register a win or a clean sheet at the helm, and oversaw a 3-0 loss at out-of-form Juventus in Bologna’s last away game. Bologna’s record of 14 Serie A goals conceded this season, meanwhile, is worse than those of all but four teams.

Irresistible hosts set for big win

Given Napoli’s outstanding form and Bologna’s struggles this season, a Partenopei win appears a banker on Sunday – but backing the hosts to beat a -1 handicap could secure additional value for punters.

Meanwhile, a 3-0 home win appears a strong correct score prediction, and after scoring five goals from 2.3 xG this season in league action, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – dubbed ‘Khvaradona’ by the Neapolitan fans – represents a strong anytime goalscorer pick.
