Napoli vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A
by Kennedy Kechula in Serie A Predictions
Napoli and Bologna, both getting used to new managers, will be eyeing first wins in the second week of the Italian Serie A. Former Champions Napoli had a nightmare start to the season and will hope for some home comforts. Follow on for our preview and prediction of this match.
A calamitous second half left Napoli with a massive dent in their opening game after falling 3-0 away to Verona. For a team that finished 10th a season after winning the Serie A title, Napoli were expected to have a better start.
It was the first time in nine years that Napoli lost on the opening weekend. Defeat wasn’t a shock though; Napoli’s standards have seriously dipped, and now they are on eight winless league matches. The win against Monza in April remains their only victory in 12 Serie A matches.
Bologna will sense the chance to pounce on a Napoli side in turmoil. They are unbeaten in three matches against the former champions and kept clean sheets in their last two meetings. In their new status as a Champions League team, Bologna will definitely be confident going into this game.
They are sure not to be facing Victor Osimhen, who scored three in the last four meetings between these teams. That will be good news to Bologna defenders, with the team seeking to build on their opening day 1-1 draw with Udinese.
Riccardo Orsolini scored for Bologna only for it to be canceled out by Lautaro Gianetti. With one loss only in 11 league matches, Bologna’s optimism coming to this game isn’t unfounded. They’ve won five of eight away league games, one of those being at Napoli.

Our Napoli vs Bologna Prediction
Napoli are trying to avert a crisis, borne out of cracks seen from the better part of last season. The team still seems to lack identity under Antonio Conte. Victor Osimhen’s future is shrouded in controversy, while matters aren’t any better on the pitch.
They have no win in eight straight league matches and failed to score at home in three of the last five. Their opponents, on the other hand, look stable and confident coming into this game. Bologna will be looking to go unbeaten in four against Napoli. Our prediction for Napoli v Bologna is for Bologna to win.
