Napoli are set to host Bologna in a crucial Serie A matchup, where the home side looks to capitalize on Bologna’s recent struggles in front of goal. Despite some inconsistent results, Napoli boast a strong home record with 12 wins from 17 matches and are tipped to win, potentially keeping a clean sheet. Bologna, on the other hand, have failed to score in four consecutive games and recently suffered heavy away losses. Expert prediction: Napoli to win, possibly to nil.

Bologna haven’t scored in four games and lost 3-0 in their last trip to Napoli. I think Antonio Conte’s side will be too strong here and get it done with a clean sheet.

HTH


Napoli have won nine of their previous 11 home games against Bologna, leading the head to head 62-49 alongside 43 draws.

Napoli Fighting for Second Spot


Napoli have won one of their last four matches and are narrowly hanging onto second spot in Serie A. An unlucky 1-1 draw at Parma was followed by a deserved 2-0 home defeat to Lazio.

Antonio Conte’s side bounced back with a thumping 4-0 victory over Cremoneseo. Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne scored in the first half, the result never in doubt.

The Campania club were held to a 0-0 draw at Como last time out, registering just one shot on target. McTominay took four of Napoli’s eight shots but couldn’t add to his nine Serie A goals.

Bologna's Season Slipping Away


Bologna’s hopes of returning to European football are all but over after failing to score in four matches.

A 4-0 loss at Aston Villa saw them exit the Europa League quarter finals. Returning to Serie A did little to improve their form, suffering 2-0 defeats against Juventus and Roma.

Vincenzo Italiano’s side drew 0-0 against Cagliari last time out, registering just 0.52 xG at home. The Emilia-Romagna club slipped to 10th in Serie A with three games remaining.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Napoli (3-4-2-1) Vanja Milinkovic-Savic; Mathias Olivera, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Buongiorno; Matteo Politano, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Leonardo Spinazzola; Kevin De Bruyne, Alisson Santos; Rasmus Hojlund

Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Antonio Vergara, David Neres and Romelu Lukaku remain out injured. Leonardo Spinazzola is chance to replace Miguel Gutierrez at left wing-back.

Bologna (4-3-3) Massimo Pessina; Lorenzo De Silvestri, Eivind Helland, Jhon Lucumi, Juan Miranda; Remo Freuler, Lewis Ferguson, Nikola Moro; Riccardo Orsolini, Santiago Castro, Jonathan Rowe

Lukasz Skorupski, Martin Vitik, João Mario, Nicolo Cambiaghi and Nicolo Casale are out with Federico Bernardeschi doubtful.

Expect Riccardo Orsolini, Jonathan Rowe and Santiago Castro to come into the attack here.

Verdict

Napoli do their best work at home where they have won 12 of 17 Serie A games this season. Bologna are coming off two heavy defeats on the road, the stage set for a home win here.
