Prediction for the Serie A Napoli vs Bologna match on October 16. Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

Napoli in the UCL Playoffs

Last Wednesday, Luciano Spalletti's side took on Ajax Amsterdam and managed to claim their fourth straight victory in the Champions League. Hirving Lozano, Giacomo Raspadori, Victor Osimen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia netted the brace as well. After four rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Napoli are at one hundred percent and secured a playoff ticket. Needless to say, the Neapolitan team at the start of the season is excellent.

In the Italian championship Napoli performs just as well. In the previous round, the Southerners defeated Cremonese (4:1) on the road and, taking advantage of Atalanta's defeat, went into first place - the gap between the opponents is now two points.

Bologna Failed to Win Again

In the previous round, the Red and Blues, managed by Thiago Motta, hosted the bottom team of the championship, Sampdoria. Bologna opened the scoring, but once again failed to win, allowing the opponent to get back. 1:1 - the team is only two points away from the relegation zone. Perhaps the dismissal of coach Sinisa Mihajlovic was premature? 

Expert Betting Tips

Bologna's performance so far this season has been awful. Especially in defense efficiency, which has not been seen in recent years. The Red and Blues have been conceding a lot, so Napoli's super-attack will indeed have plenty of opportunities to score in the upcoming game. It will not be surprising if the Neapolitans shoot both 4 and 5 goals - they are very good this season and deservedly occupy first place in the Serie A standings.

Our prediction is a win for Napoli in a productive game.
