Note: The fixture is officially listed as Napoli (home) vs Bologna at the Stadio Maradona — so while searched as “Bologna vs Napoli,” Napoli are the hosts in Naples. And what a setting for what could be a title-defining night under the Neapolitan sky.
Bologna arrive broken. Napoli arrive hungry. This one has all the ingredients of a very one-sided evening — but football has a way of surprising you.

Current Form (Last 5 Matches)
The contrast in form could not be more stark. Napoli have scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches and are ranked 2nd at home in Serie A this season. They’ve beaten Milan, smashed Cremonese 4–0, and have been ferocious on home soil all campaign.
Bologna? It’s a crisis. They’ve scored just 3 goals in their last 5 matches, haven’t found the net in 3 consecutive games, and have lost their last 3 matches. A 4–0 hammering by Aston Villa in Europe and defeats to Juventus and Roma tell the story of a squad running on empty.

Injury & Team News
Napoli are without Romelu Lukaku (muscle, doubtful), David Neres Campos (hamstring, doubtful), and Antonio Vergara (foot, doubtful). Lukaku’s potential absence is a blow, but Napoli have shown they can fire without him.
Bologna’s injury list is far more damaging. The Rossoblu are missing Nicolò Casale (calf — out for season), Nicolò Cambiaghi (thigh), João Mário (thigh), Lukasz Skorupski (hamstring), Thijs Dallinga (muscle, doubtful), and Ukko Happonen (doubtful). Six absentees — that’s a squad decimated. fotmob

Key Stats to Know
Napoli have conceded the most penalties in Serie A this season — 9 — making them vulnerable from the spot, even if their overall home record is excellent. Bologna will need a miracle to exploit it though, given their attacking drought.
Our Prediction
Bologna haven’t scored in three games, have lost three on the trot, and now face a Napoli side that is 2nd best at home in Serie A. The H2H record — Napoli with 18 wins to Bologna’s 8 in their head-to-head history — only reinforces the expected outcome. This should be a comfortable home win. fotmob
Prediction: Napoli 3–0 Bologna
