Napoli vs Bologna Predictions
Napoli to turn home advantage into a response
Napoli have lost three consecutive matches in all competitions, with the defeats coming against Como and Inter Milan in Serie A before a Champions League meeting with Arsenal.
Massimiliano Allegri is still working with a new squad, while that sequence has also come against demanding opposition. Napoli had started their season with a 2-0 win over Genoa, so Sunday provides a different test after those three defeats.
The home setting carries further weight. Only Inter Milan collected more home points than Napoli in Serie A last season.
Bologna, meanwhile, are still without a league win after three matches. Domenico Tedesco is also working under a new-manager storyline, and his side have already lost twice without scoring.
There has been considerable summer change too, with Bologna losing Santiago Castro, Jhon Lucumi, Giovanni Fabbian and Federico Ravaglia. With Napoli already having shown they can win 2-0 this season and Bologna yet to record a Serie A victory, I’m backing Napoli to Win at 1.75.
Tip: Napoli to Win @ with N/A
Bologna’s scoring record opens the door to another 2-0
Bologna scored twice against Sassuolo in their latest outing, but their first two Serie A matches produced no goals at all. Two defeats in three league games have also ended without them troubling the scoresheet.
Their recent visits to Napoli offer another useful marker for the scoreline. Bologna have failed to score in two of their last four away meetings with Napoli.
Napoli have already recorded a 2-0 victory this season, beating Genoa by that score in their opening fixture. Their three subsequent defeats came against Como, Inter Milan and Arsenal, so the recent losing sequence has been shaped by a much tougher run than Sunday’s assignment.
Allegri’s side also return to a ground where their league results were strong last season, with only Inter Milan taking more home points. Bologna remain winless under Tedesco after three Serie A games, while the summer departures of Castro, Lucumi, Fabbian and Ravaglia add to an unsettled opening period.
Bologna’s two scoreless defeats and Napoli’s 2-0 win over Genoa make Napoli 2-0 very appealing at 8.00.
