Preview
Napoli come into this after a goalless away draw against Roma in their previous match on the weekend.
It was one of the rarest occasions where managers of either team were sent off for their emotional outbursts on decisions made during the clash.
With a host of chances missed by either side, Napoli missed out on the chance to reach the top of the table. This keeps them 2nd in the table with 25 points.
On the other hand, Bologna lost 4-2 at home to AC Milan in their previous clash, which was their 3rd defeat of the season.
Leao, Calabria, Bennacer and Ibrahimovic found the back of the net for the visitors. The Swede did help the opposition as well with an own goal along with Barrow’s early second half effort.
However, there was not much that could have been done by the hosts as Milan proved to be too strong a side.
This left Bologna in the 10th spot on the league table with 12 points from 9 matches.
With just 1 win in their last 5 matches, the visitors hope to kick start a run of positive results with this clash.
Both sides last met in March earlier this year where Napoli won 3-1 at home in the Serie A.

Prediction: Napoli 2-0 Bologna
We expect Napoli to get back to winning ways and go to the top of the table. They have been brilliant this season and continue showing their title credentials.
Meanwhile; the visitors are woefully out of form and unable to get the results.
After losing 2 important players against Milan, Bologna would be slightly short on field where the hosts are ought to take advantage.
Players to watch out for: Osimhen, Insigne, Barrow and Olsen.
