Deposed Serie A champions Napoli will be looking to secure second place when they host Bologna, whose European hopes hang in the balance. Napoli arrive for this match two points ahead of third-placed Juventus, while Bologna are 10th and locked out of the top six. Having posted 12 of their 21 Serie A wins at home, our prediction is for Napoli winning.
Though they finish their campaign on a low, Napoli will once again be proud of their home form. In 17 home league games, they lost just once this season.
A 0-0 draw with Como ahead of this game represents one of their low moments, having managed just a win in their last four league games.
Bologna are in worse shape. The visitors have failed to score in their last three league matches, losing twice.
After the back-to-back defeats to Roma and Juventus, though, a 0-0 draw with Cagliari will sound like an improvement. However, 14 defeats in 31 league games will call for Bologna to have a hard look at their season’s performance.
They face a tough side and are not only at risk of a fourth straight league loss but also of failing to score in four consecutive Serie A matches. That has only happened to them twice in the last 10 seasons.

Our Napoli vs Bologna Prediction
Napoli have suffered just one defeat in their 17 home matches in Serie A this season. They will be looking to keep this run going and will be boosted mentally by having beaten Bologna 2-0 in the reverse match. Bologna’s visits to Naples have rarely had great returns.
The visitors have posted just one win in the last five, and they don’t boast a very impressive scoring run either. Napoli kept clean sheets in three of their last five home games against Bologna. Our prediction for Napoli v Bologna is that Napoli wins to nil.
