Bologna vs Napoli Prediction: Will the Neapolitans manage to win?

Napoli snatched a league victory in Portugal from Braga in the end and will now play an Italian league match against Bologna. Will the Neapolitans manage to win? Recall that in the previous two rounds Rudi Garcia's team scored only one point.

The team faced Verona away in the previous round. Bologna generally acted better than the opponent but, as in many matches last season, had problems in the last third of the field. As a result, the meeting ended 0:0. The Red-Blue are still struggling to score goals. In just four rounds, Bologna scored only five points, taking 1:1 from Turin against Juventus, beating Cagliari on their field 2:1, but on their field losing to Milan 0:2. It is not difficult to calculate that Bologna has only four goals scored in four league matches.

The Neapolitans had two solid wins at the start of the season, over Frosinone (3:1) and Sassuolo (2:0), but then lost at home to Lazio (1:2) - still the only win in the league for the Romans. In the fourth round, Napoli had a chance to make amends for that setback in an away game against this season's Serie A newcomer but conceded twice by the 56th minute. And although the Neapolitans eventually got back on track with goals from Raspadori and Politano, they can hardly take the draw in Genoa as an asset.

In the Champions League on Wednesday, Napoli was also close to not winning. Di Lorenzo opened the scoring on 45+1, but Braga scored in the 84th minute. The Portuguese own goal in the 88th minute saved Rudi Garcia's team. 2:1 - Napoli got the victory, but the game of the reigning Italian champions left a mixed impression.

Last season, both meetings between Bologna and Napoli were very effective - 2:2 and 3:2. Why don't the rivals have another high-scoring match? Bologna did not score in the last round. And Neapolitans are no longer as good in defense as last season, but in attack, they still have a high potential, having scored ten times in five matches, including the championship and Champions League, the new season. Accordingly, we bet on an exchange of goals.
