Bologna haven’t scored in four games and lost 3-0 in their last trip to Napoli. I think Antonio Conte’s side will be too strong here and get it done with a clean sheet.

HTH
Napoli have won nine of their previous 11 home games against Bologna, leading the head to head 62-49 alongside 43 draws.
Napoli Fighting for Second Spot
Napoli have won one of their last four matches and are narrowly hanging onto second spot in Serie A. An unlucky 1-1 draw at Parma was followed by a deserved 2-0 home defeat to Lazio.
Antonio Conte’s side bounced back with a thumping 4-0 victory over Cremoneseo. Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne scored in the first half, the result never in doubt.
The Campania club were held to a 0-0 draw at Como last time out, registering just one shot on target. McTominay took four of Napoli’s eight shots but couldn’t add to his nine Serie A goals.
Bologna's Season Slipping Away
Bologna’s hopes of returning to European football are all but over after failing to score in four matches.
A 4-0 loss at Aston Villa saw them exit the Europa League quarter finals. Returning to Serie A did little to improve their form, suffering 2-0 defeats against Juventus and Roma.
Vincenzo Italiano’s side drew 0-0 against Cagliari last time out, registering just 0.52 xG at home. The Emilia-Romagna club slipped to 10th in Serie A with three games remaining.
