Bologna - Napoli predictions

Bologna may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Napoli. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.94 for the hosts to win.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Bologna on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

The game’s hosts dominated the second half of their most recent Serie A engagement, ultimately winning the showdown 1:3. Their opponents Parma stood their ground throughout the first half, but Bologna eventually displayed their superiority by scoring multiple goals in a row.

The away team’s failure to win their previous Serie A matchup was not a welcome sight for their home supporters. Entering the match as clear favourites, they wound up bogged down in a stalemate with Como which lasted throughout the game’s runtime.

Bologna’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 6 goals in the last three away games.

Napoli’s past two matches featured less than 2 goals. As such, going for markets such as Over 2.5 or Both Teams to Score is not recommended.

Although Bologna’s performance so far has been satisfactory, they will no doubt be trying to move out of Europa League places and join the Champions League battle. They’re 3 points behind the top positions, though, and Napoli won’t make it easy for them to earn any more this Sunday.

With no clear favourites in this upcoming showdown, Napoli will have to be careful not to break their current winning streak. They’ve had a great start to the season, but the end is far off, and the road there hard.

Napoli are widely considered the favourites despite playing on Bologna’s home turf, and a quick look at the history of this matchup explain’s why. In the previous season, Napoli handily won a match between the two teams with a hefty goal lead.

A Double Chance on Away or Draw is likely the best move here. It’s definitely on the safe side with some minor risks, but these two are the most likely outcomes of the showdown this Sunday.
