Napoli vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 16/10/2022, 05:09  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

Napoli have the chance to go back on top of the Serie A standings when they play host to Bologna. Ahead of this game, Napoli are second on 23 points and Bologna are 17th on seven points. Napoli are a point behind Atalanta but with a game in hand. They are coming from another impressive outing, a 4-2 home win over Ajax in the Champions League. That was their ninth straight win but they have just two clean sheets in the last 10 matches. Napoli have scored three or more goals in their last four matches and in total, they’ve scored 19 times in the last five matches and their situation is made even better with the return of Victor Osimhen, who scored in the win over Ajax. As things are, it seems the biggest worry for Napoli will be in their defensive performance.

Bologna aren’t in the strongest position going into this game; they haven’t won any of their last three games. In the last five matches they’ve only managed a win and have lost twice. They’ve also failed to score in two of their last three matches. Twice in their last five games, they have conceded two or more goals and three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in three of their last five matches. In their four away matches this season, Bologna have not registered a win, losing three and conceding two or more in each of the four. This poor run is what places them just two points above the relegation zone.
