Bologna vs Napoli Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Last year, Bologna narrowly missed out on the European jumps but won the Italian Cup, which allowed them to qualify for the Europa League. This season, the Rossoblu hope to play the leading roles in the championship. They are meeting expectations for the moment and today occupy 5th place in Serie A, 3 points behind 4th place. Beaten in the den of AC Milan in mid-September, Riccardo Orsolini's teammates then lined up seven games without a setback, 4 wins and 3 draws, series in progress. After sharing the points with Fiorentina 2-2 and Torino 0-0, they resumed their march forward with a success acquired at the poorly ranked Parma last weekend 1-3. Returning to the forefront during the previous exercise, Napoli experienced great happiness by winning the Scudetto at the end of a breathtaking duel with Inter.

The objective is once again to win the title this season and the start of the championship has lived up to expectations. Antonio Conte's men are now at the top of Serie A but the positions are still very tight, just one point ahead of Inter, AC Milan and Roma. Defeated on the Torino pitch after returning from the October international break 1-0, they then won against Inter 3-1 and Lecce 0-1 before being held to a draw at home by Como last weekend 0-0. This week, Napoli conceded, in front of their fans, sharing points against Frankfurt in the Champions League 0-0. 

For this meeting, the Bologna coach still cannot count on the experienced striker Immobile, who was injured shortly after his arrival. In addition, affected last weekend, the important midfielder Freuler is also forced to withdraw. Against Parma, Argentinian striker Castro (4 goals in SA) stood out with a double. He could start again this Sunday with, at his side, the essential Italian international Orsolini (5 goals in SA). To occupy the left wing, the influential Cambiaghi (2 goals and 3 assists in SA) is in competition with the former Marseillais Rowe and Dominguez (1 assist in SA). On the Napoli side, the playmaker De Bruyne and the striker absent since the start of the season Lukaku are still injured.

We also find goalkeeper No. 2 Meret in the infirmary while the starting full-back Spinazzola and midfielder Gilmour are announced as doubtful. Napoli have only found the net once in the last three matches played in all competitions. The Dane Hojlund (2 goals in SA) is expected to be up front again. In the midfield, take place the executives Anguissa (4 goals in SA) and McTominay (2 goals in SA).
