Draws are a frequent occurrence in Serie A, and this trend has extended to European competitions. Napoli played to a 0-0 draw at home against Frankfurt in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Bologna was reduced to ten men as early as the 23rd minute after Lykogiannis was sent off. They also had to settle for a goalless draw against Brann in the Europa League. On Sunday, Napoli and Bologna will face each other in Matchday 11 of Serie A at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
As for Bologna's Europa League match on Thursday, it marked the return to the bench of their manager, Vincenzo Italiano. He returned after nearly two weeks of absence due to pneumonia, which worsened and required hospitalization. Upon his return, he faced a challenging match, but despite playing with ten men, his substitutions effectively created scoring opportunities for Bologna, including a near-goal right-footed shot from Cambiaghi.
Meanwhile, in Tuesday's Champions League match, Napoli dominated, registering 18 shots, but was unable to find the net; Eljif Elmas and Scott McTominay missed clear scoring opportunities. Even with the draw against Como in Serie A, Conte's men maintain their lead in the Italian league with 22 points from 10 matches.

Our Bologna vs Napoli Prediction
Due to a thigh injury, Kevin De Bruyne joined the injury list, which already included his compatriot Lukaku, while Spinazzola remains doubtful for Napoli due to a hip injury. For Bologna, Ciro Immobile and Remo Freuler are the most recent confirmed absences.
With two extra days of rest compared to their rivals, Napoli travel to Bologna, a venue where their last three encounters have all ended in draws. For this reason, there's no guarantee it will be an easy visit for the reigning champions.
Our prediction for Napoli vs Bologna is: Bologna to win no draw bet.
