Bologna vs Napoli Prediction, Betting Tips, Head to head

Napoli looks for their sixth consecutive win over Bologna as they travel to the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara this weekend. The Partenopei may have already wrapped up the league title but showed against Inter last Sunday that they have no intention of taking it easy in the remaining weeks.

Head to head

• An inspection of past results between these clubs stretching back to 15/07/2020 tells us that these encounters have not been happy ones for Bologna. They’ve not managed to get any victories whatsoever while Napoli has just been too good for them, finishing as winners in 83 percent of those match-ups.
• A combined total of 17 goals were yielded between them in these games, with 4 of them for Rossoblu and 13 netted by Partenopei. That is an average goal-per-game value of 2.83.
• The previous league fixture featuring these clubs was Serie A match day 10 on 16/10/2022 when it finished SSC Napoli 3-2 Bologna.
• In that game, SSC Napoli managed 48% possession and 30 shots at goal with 11 of them on target. The goalscorers were Juan Jesus (45′), Hirving Lozano (49′), and Victor Osimhen (69′).
• Bologna got 16 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Joshua Zirkzee (41′) and Musa Barrow (51′) scored.
• The referee was Francesco Cosso.
• For Bologna, there is also nothing left to fight for this season, as the battle for European football slipped out of their grasp. Nevertheless, Thiago Motta will be proud of his team’s accomplishments and will be keen to extend their current unbeaten run to four games.

Spalletti owes it to his two leading men – Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvartskhelia. These two have been pulling the wagon for Napoli since the start of Serie A last year and they are lethal to date. Our top football betting tips today include the Bologna vs Napoli clash over 3.5 goals as coach Luciano Spalletti’s side has the best-attacking tally in the league with 73 goals scored in 36 fixtures. The only other team with the same number as Napoli is Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri found the net on 67 occasions.

With barely four games lost this season, Napoli are giving the rest of the Serie A teams a run for their money. Another big plus in favor of our Bologna vs Napoli predictions this week is the fact that coach Luciano Spalletti’s team has a 100% success rate against this opponent in their last five matches! All games ended with a win for Napoli, so it would be no surprise if Bologna fails to pick up a point on the 28th.

Perhaps a little more luck would’ve been sufficient for Bologna to reach the European tournaments next season. With 13 victories, 11 draws, and 12 losses, coach Thiago Motta’s boys needed just a little push from Fortuna to reach long-awaited Europa League or Conference League participation. The players will surely try to prove our Bologna vs Napoli predictions wrong as this will be a pressure-free game, seeing as there’s no chance Bologna can reach a higher position in the ranking.
