Napoli and Bologna clash at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday evening, with both sides looking to halt a run of poor results. 

Bologna are still searching for their first win of the season and have picked up just two points from their opening three games. Last time out, a last gasp Artem Dovbyk goal saw them secure a draw at home to Bologna, but Bologna's overall performance was that of a team lacking in confidence and creativity.

After opening the season with a Kevin De Bruyne inspired 0-2 at Genoa, Napoli have now lost their last three games in all competitions. In fairness to Max Allegri's side, all three of those defeats have come against very strong opponents (Inter, Arsenal and Como), but unless the 2025 Serie A champions can get back to winning ways soon, the pressure will begin to mount on the veteran head coach.

Our Napoli vs Bologna Prediction

After an extremely tough run of fixtures, this looks like a great opportunity for Napoli to get their season back on track. 

Bologna have looked well below their best, and whilst we expect them to improve as the campaign progresses, we can't see them getting anything from their weekend trip to Naples. 

Goals have been an issue for both Napoli and Bologna in recent weeks, so we are tipping the home side to triumph either 1-0 or 2-0.

Our prediction for Napoli vs Bologna is: Napoli to win and under 2.5 goals. 

Prediction:

 

Napoli to win and under 2.5 goals
